A foreign object, be it grit or dirt, caught in the foam (pad) will surely cause scratching but what it introduces into the paint is not a uniform swirl but rather a deeper series of marks within the lighter or finer swirls caused by the abrasive pad and/or product.
So if you're using a 100ppi pad and a fine polish to burnish the paint and some foreign object is in the pad you wouldn't really see swirls so much as you would see this deep circular scratch. In order for dirt and such to cause swirls there would have to be a great number of them within the pad, not one or even a few for they would cause more scratches than swirls.
Now a broken down and worn out pad will cause swirls also, even if it's a fine finishing pad. I usually toss my pads when they get some tears and such in them.
Hope that clarifies it more from my end.
