Greg @ DI, info please
I am ready to buy some more products from you again. This time I want to go the route on products you can recomend for my swirl marks without having to buy a buffer. Surely I should be able to remove some marks without the orbital. I was just very worried about using that on my car. I am on a budget, so could you recomend something that can be applied via pad using good old elbow grease?
Look forward to your response.

You definitely can use some polishes by hand it's just harder to get the significant improvement that a buffer can provide. I certainly understand and respect anyone's decision to do it by hand though so no worries at all. The hard part for me is whether or not to recommend a two step application for hand polishing. With a buffer I almost always recommend a two step process. When you apply polishes you need a good amount of pressure and lots of passes over the same area. Therefore it can be tough to do two coats like this by hand. If you think you are up to a two step process try the Poorboy's World SSR 2.5 and finish with the Menzerna Final Polish II. The SSR 2.5 works well during hand applications and gets some pretty good results. I still like the Menzerna Final Polish II as my finishing/light polish because it seems to leave the surface more optically clear. If you only want to do a one step routine I would suggest just using the Menzerna Final Polish II.
After that apply some protection with a quality sealant. I love the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 but the Chemical Guys M-Seal is probably the best value for you. Let me know if you have any other questions or areas in need of a recommendation.

This is what I use from Detailed Image. I do everything by hand and the three products are easy to use.
PO106ff Ceramic Clear Coat Polish
Jet Seal 109
50/50 Limited Series Concourse Paste Wax

Loud stuff
I've used SIP/106FF coated with Jetseal 109 and 50/50 (Thanks again Greg for those superb products.
BUT...i've used them on Porter Cable. I beleive that doing 106ff by hand will give you very very limited results. If your car comes with ceramic clear coat it's even worse in term of results by hand.
Here is the old topic if you are interested to see the results :
