While they work magic on a paint's clearcoat they do not do so well on a flexible film. They have the tendency to dull them over time.

Does that help?

Some examples of polishes with abrasives are:

1) Poorboys SSR Line
2) Menzerna PO106FF
3) 3M Perfect-It
4) There are many others... If they claim to remove swirls, it likely has an abrasive.
