Swirl Removers Polisher?

you'll have a job doing it by hand. Expect lots of hours of elbow grease and only semi perfect results
Best way to do it is with a machine polisher. Check http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/ for more info as a lot of the places that sell them will be OcUK competitors with OcUK selling mequiars stuff.
Have a search for the Meguiars G220 Dual Action Polishing Machine. You want something like this. Check DW for cheaper alternatives though.

This, unless you want to get a machine then ask on DW so many different polishes pads etc etc it confuses the hell out of me sometimes. Still can't decide on pads and polish.
The above is what I used on my old MR2 and that was damn good. I do however have a Porter Cable now which does a better job, and it's easier but obviously costs a lot more to get started. I guess it just depends on how much money/time you wanna spend.
As already mentioned, a machine is the best way to do it.
I use a PC with Megs Pro compounds #80 and #83 and that has dealt with anything i've used it for, including a filthy Rover 600 that looked like it had been cleaned with wire wool.
Honda's have soft paint, so the #80 is usually enought for my car, and works very well.
I have used Sonus and Lake Country pads and couldn't really tell the difference. I only use the medium and harsh pads - i've never seen the need to use a finishing pad.
If you are down my way, let me know and I'll do a panel for you.

Thansk quite useful, would you say the megs are better then the merenza polish or poorboys?
To be honest, I've only tried Menzerna once and it wasn't bad. However, I bought big bottles of Megs #83 and #80 when I got my PC. They have worked really well and done exactly what I want so I don't see much point in changing.
I've posted these pics a hundred times before, and they are old now, but here are some results from the kit i've mentioned. The car is long overdue a second treatment, but the weather has been inconsistent if not rubbish down here, for nearly two months now at the weekends.

You can get a passable job done by hand, but not on a hard paint.Get a Ebay rotary (silverline) and learn how to use it,also get some decent pads, im using some 3M ones at the moment.
A machine just makes life so much easier tbh, for the sake of 50-70 notes its well worth it.
