Honestly, the right process and the right machine can make most any product look great.

I use a PorterCable for all steps except the waxing.

Menzerna or Prima Swirl for light correction of swirls. 4.5" cutting pad.
Prima Finish to clean up minor hazing of harsher polish. 6" white pad.
Prima Amigo to make the black really have a WOW factor. 6" black pad.
Victoria's red to seal it up.

Lake Country pads.


EDIT:
And I should mention that the polish used to remove swirls....needs to be worked in slowly. It is time consuming.

As long as you are using good, quality products, the process and technique is more important than the product.

turtle wax and nufinish are NOT good products.
