Check the pic below to see the swirls that I'm up against.

I posted over at the Autopia forums and got some good advice, I want to see what you guys think.
This is my plan:
1) Wash
2) Clay
3) Use 3M FI-II
4) Use Meguairs #9 swirl remover
5) Either P21S gloss enhancing paint cleanser or 3M IHG????
6) S100 Wax.

Main thing that im trying to do is remove swirls with the FI-II then cover it up with the P21S GEPC or IHG.

Sound good?

P21S GEPC is better. Beware, 3M FI2 is difficult to use.

Your plan sounds fine. I would use GEPC over IHG. Very easy to use and great shine. Ali's right on. You'll have to work FI2 in quite a bit to make sure it is fully breaking down. As long as you are patient, the results will be wonderful. Post pics!

I'm aware that you really have to work it in and get rid of the haze. What I know so far is that I should apply just a little bit of the product (dime or nickel size) and work it in really well so I don't get any hazing. Anything other tips?

I'll be sure to post pics when i'm finished, but i'm going to do it in 2 weeks or so.
