vag paint is very tough. what polisher do you have and level of pad? also how did you prep the car and pads for polishing? it may be that you have some debris in the pads or left on the car. it doesn't take a lot to inflict swirls but can be a right royal paint to get rid of.

You may be using a pad that is too soft to break down the abrasives in the polish. As said above, can you tell us exactly what 3M pad and Meguiars product you are using please...
