I've used the HD Swirl remover a couple of times without the best of luck. Other members have had good luck with it though. Also, other users have recomended ScratchX.

Check out 3Dog. He's a detailer or something and alsways has good advise. Also, check out the Detailing forum on the main page.

I use BOM and I think it does a great job. You can order it off of their site, www.badtothebom.com.

I just got a buffing machine from Harbor Freight for $39

Makes even cheap turtle wax polish work like a charm, wish I got one sooner.
Use a dremel for tight spots.
