Polishing by hand

The two you're using have very mild cut, mostly filling and cleaning abilities.
you can step up the cut a little by using some pre wax cleansers, or go for a specific cutting compound like GTechniq P1

Poor boys ssr1 would be worth a call for the money
GT P1 polishing kit is brilliant by hand.
Perfect for when you don't need to/can't be bothered to get the polisher out.

I never got on with it via DA compared to menzerna, was better with rotary. Great for spot areas by hand. But I can't polish for sh!t so don't take my word for it.

Correct reko, fillers will last as long as your wax or sealants will protect
Clio 172 phase 1
Stp and ultra deep shine have a higher silicone content to fill in scratches and create a no scratch effect ... Try out some dodo juice lime prime and possibly the meguiars ultimate compound followed by their ultimate polish for 22quid the results would be very good pound for pound also finish with a wax if you can on a budget halfrauds are offering 3 for 2 on cleaning products I'd by ultimate compound ultimate polish and gold class wax
This isn't the halfords shopping section, chap. The products you've listed (save for LP) are terrible.
For £22 you can buy P1 and a hand cut pad. Probably a few MFs as well. So OP, I suggest taking that advice...!

Lol, I was browsing through halfrauds yesterday as you do
what would people recommend out of g3 paint renovator, autoglym paint renovator or megs ultimate polish?
or should I be looking at dedicated glazes?

seems to work well with most products.
cleans well, and a fair mix of correction and filling capabilities. Very easy to use
Cheers dave
I got some AF Tripple today through the post which i got from perfectly cleaned
Cheaper than monza who i found a bit pricey.
What's it like compared to triple in terms of correction filling etc?

Less filling than tripple, but more true correction in terms of swirl removal due to the small amount of abrasives in it.

Personally, by hand I'd go with polish with fillers in so SRP (especially the new formula one) is exactly what you need, maybe go for a glaze (Poorboys Blackhole or similar) and then wax. That should leave you with a superb finish by hand.
To actually do full correction by hand would take some serious hard work but as said you'd need something more abrasive to actually remove them. I'd rather wait until I had access to a DA and have a go at them a bit more easily.
Lets face it, swirl marks are corrected for cosmetic purposes so by hand I'd aim to fill by machine I'd aim to correct.
