How are you applying it and removing it?
Make sure you work it well so there is very little to remove, wipe excess away with a clean microfiber cloth, and use a clean one for a final buff after.
Try a nice Glaze such as Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze or something like Zymol HD Cleanse, both work well at hiding defects by hand then apply a good wax.
Chances are most the defects would cleanup by a machine polish.
Orange Green and Blue are the DAS ones.
Works fine on them though, but I tend to use the Intensive Polish on a the White SFX polishing Pad and the Final Finish on DAS Blue.
When I need some more cut the I use the IP on DAS Orange and Yellow SFX. The Denser yellow SFX provides a little more cut...
Megs stage 1 is a chemical cleaner, Megs stage 2 depsite the name polish is a Glaze so neither will do much for the swirls.
The 3 main popular routes polish wise are:
Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish(s)
Poorboys Super Swirl remover (SSR) Range
Meguiars #83 and #80
All work well...
Onyx is one of the easyist waxes out there on and off ( Megs 16 is a pain to remove unless you get it applied really really thinly ideally by PC), and Onyx looks fantastic.

Cheapest places for Megs is to buy the Detailer line in bulk sizes.
I get my bits from:

I would also look into the Sonus or Micropak drying towels from Clean and Shiny, the Megs ones are poor IMHO
Dash - some uk people use a Dewalt machine that is sold over here, but you are limited to what pads you can use, as well as a more limited spped range.

P21S is easier on and off than Nattys Blue.
The P21s gives a richer and deeper look, the Nattys Blue a more clear and wet look. Both look good but slightly different.
My preference on Blue is P21s. If I use Nattys Blue on a car I always end up using another wax on top of it aswell.
What do you expect they are both built by French companies. My 306 old 306 was fairly well screwed together, my current one rattles to hell at only 40K, and my 205 and 309 where much the same!
The 207 will never reach German levels of build.
With Alan on this, much better products in results and ease of use.
Personally I would just buy Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss Protection isntead.
But as you have them I would apply all 3 with foam hand pads and remove with Microfiber cloths.
Unfortunatly the garage is only big enough to store the car, no room to work on it so it has to come out. Luckily I only spend a couple of hours a weekend on it most of the time.
LOL @ the wash mitt and the hot chick. Always use them like a sponge, never be wearing them!
Never seemed to work like that round here, the few local chavs that where about gave the old "what's under there then mate something nice?" and that was just for a little 205 GTi the night before a show.
Thought it was Lorna and Steves old car by the stickers the wrong way round! Is the car running ok now, I know it had some problems after Evo borrowed it, head gasket IIRC?
