I use Liquid Glass. It comes in a square shaped can with a '67 Vette on it.
This stuff works awesome. Leaves no streaks/smudges if done right.
I highly recommend it.

Granted I agree that liquid glass is a really good polymer based wax (Has good durability). But it is not a polish. But are you asking for wax products or polishes to get rid of swirls?

I use Zaino with a Porter Cable 7424, I have a sample pack of Tropi Care I got with my PC that I will try. But I can say I have used Zaino since 1997

Agree with MadIceV8. What type of polish are you looking for? I have personal experience with Zaino, Turtle wax (just once when I was a noob, waste!), and just recently Tropi-Care. I'm also hearing alot about NXT and I'd like to try it.

For me, for the most pop, you have to go with Zaino, but its pricey. Get it if you can afford the $80-100 for the complete set (says it works best with all its products and I can attest to it) Its worth it.

Just recently tried Tropi-Care. Hes a sponsor on this site. I'd say it works comparable to Zaino. Its much cheaper however! If you do a search on tropi-care, you'll find lots of opinions about it.

Now I've heard the NXT is great for not so much a crisp, pop finish, but is great for that deep type finish. I guess this just depends on what you really want.

And this is just polish! Now if your looking for a polish to help get the swirls out, I highly recommend the Tropi-Care swirl cutter (goes on before the polish).

Hope this helps.

yep, although very good sealants...

I, personally, use Menzerna FMJ for a sealant.

did you mean #80 and #83 ? #50 is a Marine cleaner wax, and I can't recall what #53 is odd the top of my head ..

The ones I am using the majority of the time now are:

Meg's #80
Menzerna IP and FP
Tropi-care TC-8 (new addition to the line up)

I mainly use NXT and Tropi-Care. I loved the way they looked on my red LT1, made the color really stand out!

Menzerna makes excellent products. I can't speak for the poorboys stuff but Ive seen some good work produced from their polishes on detailing forums.

Just do a google search for the products you're interested in. You'll find a lot of places that sell them.
