My fibreglass boat while it shines, if you look at it at a certain angle,
you can see swirls . and this bothers me. Has any one had an experience like
this and what product would you recommend to remove the swirls or the wax
from a fibreglass surface?

Generally swirls in wax is caused by the application of too thick a
layer of wax. Once it dried it's a real bear to buff the swirls out.

What to do, Three options.

The most frustrating aggravation method it lots of elbow grease and
heavy rubbing. I don't recommend it.

The next , wax dissolves wax. A thin new coat may soften the top of the
heavy coat enough to allow you to rub out the swirls and even things
out.

The easiest way is probably just stripping the wax that is on there now
and redoing the job with several light applications buffed out to a no
swirl condition before the next coatis added.

One trick to getting a thin even coat of wax is to dampen the applicator
with fresh water. Think spit shined shoes.

Good luck
