For a Swirl remover, I like Menzerna P0106FF. I've used Poorboys SSR1 and it is good, but Menzerna is much much better.

You just missed buffer week at Detailed Image. Those things never go on sale and it just ended. Auto Geek has pretty good products and service but George @ DI gives us a 10% off discount code.

I have the PC and it's good unless you want to spend another $160 on a Flex.
Don't know about the Klasse AIO
Orange pad is pretty agressive for just minor swirl removal
The backing plate is required to use the PC. I'd get the 6".
I like Poorboy's, never used the Wolfgang's but I heard they're good products as well.
Those towels are awesome. I've dried 2 cars with one towel and barely had to wring it out.

I agree with Blackjack, the PO106FF is an awesome finishing polish but I wouldn't get it if you have lots of correction to do. Go with something with more cut.

I've used Poorboys entire line of polishes and they are very good. Having said that, Menzerna's polishes are much better IMO. I haven't used Wolfgang so I can't comment on it. Not knowing how bad your paint condition is, it's hard to recommend what cutting ability you will need in a polish. Since I am huge fan of Menzerna polishes, I would recommend the following.

For heaving cutting - Power Gloss
For medium cutting - Super Intensive Polish
For light cutting - P0106FF

As for protection after polishing, I prefer either Menzerna FMJ (which is by far the easiest sealant I've used) or Zaino Z2/Z5. After the sealant, I prefer topping it with a layer of Carnuba for added depth and gloss and my preference is Nattys Blue Paste Wax. I recently ordered some Carnuba from Don @ Migliore and am looking forward to testing it.

I personally use the Optimum line and top with Migliore for some great results. Shane, do you find SIP can be finished down well or do you recommend a finishing polish?

Here is a picture for the OP of Optimum products topped with Migliore:

Don, I've found that SIP finishes down extremely well. The last customer car I used SIP on was a Porsche Boxter that had heavy spider webbing. I didn't think that PG was necessary so I used SIP. It finished extremely well and I didn't need to use a finishing polish. Having said that though, there have been a few jobs that I've needed to follow up with a finishing polish after using SIP. But for a medium cutting polish, it finishes extremely well.
