That's it I'm going nuts... too many products

I'm desparate... I've been reading and reading and reading for the last 8 days of coumpounds, polishes, was and sealant... I can't take it anymore.

Wife's about the kill me (3 hours every night on Internet try to get it right).

Ok here's the sit.

- E93, brand new (space grey), no swirls no nothing, Clayed + 2 coats of Zaino until this spring for the complete job (got the car this winter).
- Winter beater 03 Liberty renegade (khaki), no swirls always hand washed all good

The tricky part:
Mother's 02 Civic (dark blue): went to hell and is still there, swirls everywhere, pretty bad
Sister's 08 Versa (red): spiderweb but nothing too awfull

I'll stick with Zaino for finishing as my previous RSX, Liberty we're and are still great looking!!! But for the swirl and spiderweb removal on the to other cars, I'll puchase a Porter Cable 7424xp and pads

The nightmare is.... WHAT product to use??? Menzerna, Klasse,Poorboy, Meguiars????

Menzerna has 463 kind of products just for polishes, almost as confusing as the Zaino line (which I seemed to have under control clay+z6+(Z2+ZFX)+(Z2+ZFX)+Z6.

+ should i stick with my initial idea of Lake clear orange and up?

I want to do the work on my mother's car cause my younger bros has always trashed the car (washing it). Sister want's to sell the car so it will help a bit.

Once I washed the Civic this winter in my garage and saw the swirls She told me after, it's been so long i haven't seen my car so nice and blue!!!!$/%/$/%?%? I almost fainted.... damm younger bros...

HELP HELP HELP

I am a Zaino fanboy, but ZPC just won't cut it here...

Menzerna is the way to go...Powerfinish (PO203S) alone or SIP (PO83) with SuperFinish (PO106FA) depending on your level of correction needed...

So Powerfinish (PO203S) alone should be enough? after, I'll Z5+z2 the thing after, perhaps I'll pass on the Z5...

I think that I would not have a choice as to use the SIP (PO83) with SuperFinish (PO106FA) for the civic it's bad (I'll try to find a similas swirl picture around, it's still fresh on my mind). Maybe I can then use only the SuperFinish on the versa...

I'm not going to do this very often, just this time. unless my younger bros keep trashing every car mymother buys... They'll stay with her till death hahahhah. i was out at 17.
