Default Polish Recommendation

I was wondering what kind of polish you would recommend if I just want to remove some minor swirl marks. I've never used any polish on my S I've used the cheap Nu-Finish stuff before on other cars with good success in removing most swirls but I've never heard of anyone using that stuff on here.

That picture never gets old! I was looking for that at all of the local auto places with no luck. I guess I'll have to order it. I do have a few questions about it.
You don't need to polish afterwards right? And since my car is silverstone I should order the darker right? Is it ok to use that with the white pad?
Thanx!

I've found the 2 best products for swirl removal to be

Poorboy's SSR 2.5 to SSR 1
and
Meguiar's DACP

of course done with a orbital polisher.

My favorites are :

DACP (Meg's #83) for the heavy stuff.
SWP (Meg's #82) for lighter stuff (or after DACP).

no need to polish (usually)..
swirl removers are a gentle (mild) polish-
however, if you still have haze (usually you can see it in florescent lights in your garage) or scratches a stronger polish might be called for.
you should order the polish for silver cars, not the one my car is in.
and finally- yes, white pads usually have light cutting action (perfect for swirl removal)
