Yeah to get swirls (spider webbed look) you will need a good compound and a DA.
Even though it's not a super polisher/buffer, my Porter Cable 7336SP does a great job. You can, but I don't waste my money on all of the different pads you can get. It comes with a good quality foam one. I just bought two more of those. So now I have 1 for compound, 1 for cleaner wax (or whatever), then the last for sealant/wax like Griots Best of Show. However the best way to prep your paint is to CLAY it! Smooth surface to start with, even with clear coat defects, is a MUST to getting slick as glass paint.
But that's just my method and it has always yielded excellent results for me.
Like this.....sorry for truck whoring.

Another thing to consider is the condition of "Filth". if its just a little bit of dust, then something like the California Duster is just fine, however, I personally refuse to use dusters. if it has heavier dust or some dirt/sand, then a quick detailer or spray wax and a microfiber towel will work. Never use a dry towel on the surface of a dusty or dirty vehicle, because most times the microfiber will either push the dust/contaminants around (instead of picking it up), or will leave the undesired scratch marks. If the Vehicle is just too dirty to dust or quick detail, then a wash is needed.
