Be happy with your teeny weeny buffer...I used to have one made in the 20s or something, it weighed 50 pounds and the pad was the size of freaking earth haha.

Make sure your pads are super clean. Get new ones if they are old.

Dirt and other abrasives getting trapped in the buffer material are your main cause of swirls.
