I went with their polish instead of the cleaner/wax as the cleaner wax seems to be an all in one type of product doesn't it ?. With my Meguiars setup I would wash, claybar, polish, then wax. hth.

Yes, I've tried SwirlX. It can be applied either by hand or by dual action polisher. It's a mild polish, so don't expect it to remove a lot of swirls, especially if you're working by hand. You may also want to buy a bottle of Ultimate Compound to along with the SwirlX.
