Swirl removal
I have a Megs orbital polisher. I've tried Poorboys SSR1 but not impressed with it. It leaves dots on the paint when i polish it off which i have to buff off by hand.
Anyone got experience if something else? I'm going to try the megs stuff next.
Also using this on the BM whose painthas not been looked after, its taking fugging ages!

Menzerna polishes are excellent, I get really good results with them. Detailing world has lots of opinions/advice, depending on what colour your car is they will suggest the most suitable product got you. I get my stuff from cleanyourcar.com.
German paint apparently has enamel flakes added to it to make it a lot harder. Jap paint as you know is shite and like butter however it's a lot easier to correct.

Megs #205 is a good finishing compound, or something like #80 for a bit more cut. Honda paint shouldn't really need anything more aggressive, #105 and #205 for the German paint. As said the menzerna polishes are good too. What pads are you using?

Sonus I use mate, good on soft paint by all accounts, used it on my old Astra coupe turbo to good effects. Very little in the way of Swirlage.

Cheers fellas
In terms of pads I use a megs finishing pad with the ssr1, like this I think:

The Megs MF system works really well on the S. Not cheap though.
I have issues with Menzerna polishes on the S - The paint is far too sticky and soft and it makes removing the product a nightmare.

For swirl removal, I use Megs 83 and Megs 80 - and the yellow megs pad or red megs pad - I forget which combination.
I find them really effective for swirl removal (Red pad first) and then paint cleaning (yelow pad) but I do really struggle with the big scratches that you can't feel but can certainly see!
NB The above is on the Megs G220

I've given up with removing swirls from the S with the Megs dual action, the paint is so soft you can spend a weekend using a dual action getting it looking amazing then after a couple of months of washing/driving etc they are back again, even using the two bucket method with grit guards and taking extreme care when washing the re-appear.
I used Poorboys black hole now, that stuff is really good, easy to apply, gives a great finish, seals the paint and hides the swirls.
