Another vote for Zymol. The REAL Zymol (the stuff made in Connecticut), not the re-badged Turtle Wax stuff made in Chicago.
Zymol HD-Cleanse to remove oxidation from the finish. Zymol Japon for the wax. And Zymol Vinyl for the interior.

Re: (JDM TypeR 508)
I use Klasse AIO, followed by alternating layers of Klasse SG and Platnium UPP. I top it off with S100/P21S carnuba.
However, here is my routine on my car, when I do a full detail:
PC 7424 (random orbital buffer)
Clay Magic (claybar)
Gold Class Wash
3M PI-II
Meg DACP
Meg #82 polish
Klasse AIO
Klasse SG
Platnium UPP
MF towels
S100 wax
Meguiars Final Inspection QD
Waffle Weave Towels to dry
303 on dash and tires
Aquapel on windows

1 grand blitz wax is the only wax you'll ever need. Lasts for months even with my washing the car every week. Kind of hard to get, and a little expensive but, well worth it. You'll see

I use Klasse Aio/sg and s100 wax on top of that. Heard mequair came out with a very good new wax. Zymol and the rest of the garbage dont come close. Zaino is great too but too expensive IMO.

Yeah, Meguiars came out with their new NXT line. Its not in all the stores yet, but it will be soon. Early reports about NXT show that its a very good product and easy to use.

I've tried most of them, and I've found that Zymol gives the greatest gloss and depth to the finish.
I've also found that most folks who claim that X is garbage have never tried it...

I used to buff by hand, but after getting a Porter Cable 7424 buffer, I will only use a machine.

Re: (K1R)
I use Zaino, nice finish, but didn't seem to be able to get the swirl marks out. I'm gonna get it professionally polished this spring and then use the Zaino to lock that polish job in and make it really shine.

takes some muscle to get the swirls out. wait, you're talking about the swirls in the paintjob. that just takes maybe more than 1 coat or more time with the swirl remover on the paint. 
i have a black car and it took the swirls right out.

If your swirl are pretty bad. Then use some dacp, then swirl remover. And wax it to seal it up.

clay bar, z1, Z5, z2. no swirls guaranteed if applied right. z5 is the swirl remover that zaino makes. zaino is the best.
