removing window swirl marks?

i polished my windows with a glass polish by hand but I have some swirl marks from it? I guess I should have polished back and forth not in circles?

Just try to hand buff the swirls out with a dry towel. That works for me.

You try cleaning them again? I don't know what you could have done.
