I recommend the Next Generation Meguire's tire gloss. I tried a LOT of tire glosses before but this seems to last rediculously long. 1.5x longer than the endurance stuff.

I recently did my wife's car using a Porter Cable random orbital buffer I borrowed from a friend, then I washed and Zaino'd it. It looks incredible - the swirl marks are all gone (there weren't many, but the ones that were there are gone - the paint and clearcoat are perfect now with the exception of rock chips, which no buffer or wax or polish will remove).

Here are some pictures after just 2 coats of Zaino. You can click to see the detailed view where you can plainly see how good the surface looks.
