Default Swirl removers - What do you recommend?

I want to take a weekend and remove some of the swirls that have been accumulated over the last several years of washing. My questions is what products (pads and compounds) to use. I am partial to Adam's because all of their products I have used are awesome, however they are all pretty expensive. What products have you guys used and had good luck with? Any body use Adam's? Or Wolfgang?

removing swirls properly is expensive either way.

I hope you have a DA polisher or some kind of mechanized polisher.

I use a griots DA polisher with CSS lake country pads. microfiber bonnets on top of the pads. For liquids I use menzerna. I tried megs 105/205, but didn't like the mess. Menzerna is expensive, but top notch.

Adam's works very well and the price is right. I just used it on my MY00 and it turned out amazing. I'm excited to try it on some customers cars in the future.

Do you generally just use 1 pad for all of the polishes? or do you switch?

Did you buy the entire polishing set or just pick different pads and polishes?

You should use different pads for cutting compounds and lighter polishes. You should definitely use a different pad if you're also using the DA to apply a sealant.
