A few things, and I will stand firm on them. As myself and at least one other has said, the formula has changed and is not as "gritty." Confirmed with NF customer service and experienced by me. Secondly, I have yet to see NF cause swirls. The car was most likely damaged before NF, the media used to apply it caused marring, or the towel to remove it did. Most likely user error.
Lastly, to say the formula hasn't changed and paints have become harder is false. Some manuf. have hard paints. VW, Audi are examples. Others like Honda have softer paint. Due to changes in VOC regulations, other EPA regs, as well as general changes, in some ways, paints have become softer for many carmakers.
I won't win this argument. I've done my own tests and honestly, if you're getting swirls from NF it's user error. Even with a polishing pad on my buffer it won't induce marring.
