So I'm planning my shopping list to go to the Autoshow, have some questions as well as some detailing questions in preparation for the upcoming Spring season:
1. I was reading up on these:

Originally my plan was to fix up the swirls on my paint and was looking to buy some Mirror Glaze 9 Swirl Remover to fix. Now that I see this, should I get the Ultimate Compound instead? I'm really confused now. They say the Ultimate Compound has more bite than ScratchX. I originally got the ScratchX to fix up a scratch on my rear bumper, but I put quite a lot of elbow grease, it's still there. So does Ultimate Compound works both as a scratch and swirl remover?
2. What exactly is the difference between a "scratch fixer" and a swirl remover? ScratchX, Ultimate Compound, are these considered "paint cleaners", or is that something else?
3. Back then I tried to do a thorough detail, I used it in this order: Wash x2, Dry, ScratchX, Polish, and finally wax. Is this correct?
4. For the polish, I got Mirror Glaze 7 Show Car Glaze. I have a feeling I got the wrong one, the label says it's for "perfecting already excellent paint". Does the different polishes really matter, or should I replace my polish?
5. I'm going to start clay barring my car this year. Which step of order should I add it to?
