Arrow Rubbing compound, 3M or Meg's?

I am confused with the 3m and Meg's compound line. My body man says to use.....in this order...I will be using a PC 7437
- 05933-Perfect it-III rubbing compound
- 05937- " " machine glaze
- 05942- " " finishing glaze
- Polish, hand
- Wax, hand

Or use the Meg's Pro line.....?

Where would 3M's Swirl Mark Remove #39009 come into play?

Meg's DACP #83 seems to be very popular on other detailing boards.

I will then polish with Pinnacle Paint Cleanser then wax with Souveran paste/S100

I may do Zaino, not sure, but will top with wax.

It's sky blue paint is in great shape. The other is a black with paint in very good shape. Minimal swirls and hardly any scratches..........but micro scratches.

Advice is appreciated.
