None of the above.
I use 3M swirl mark remover, then liquid turtle wax soap.

I use a combination of turtle and meguires products
assuming the paint is in. 1:reasonable condition, standard tutlle wax,I find this has a mild cut for small scuffs, but heaps of white residue. 2:great condition, turtle wax "extreme cleaner wax" this has a very very very mild cut and leaves an excellent finish that is very durable, I have taken out a 1st and 2nd place at Porsche Club events with this wax. 3: concourse condition, I now use Meguires "mirror glaze hi tech yellow wax" This wax has no cut and is ideal for paint that is in the best condition. Do not expect a concourse finish with one application with any product it is a labor intensive but rewarding process. My best tip is to wash the paint first , make sure you have plenty of clean cloths, and make sure your wax applicator sponges are spotless, clean them in hot soapy water to remove any dirt as this will cause the swirl marks. Start rubbing Russell
