Meguiars ultimate compound or gtechniq P1 with a firm foam pad such as the tri foam or German coloured applicator or dedicated hand polishing pads

Then finish off with something a little less aggressive with some oils and fillers like autoglym SRP or meguiars ultimate polish

I don't know about the pads (haven't opened the link) but yes you should protect the paint after. If not the fillers will wash out with the rain. Sealant or Wax.

As per Ads recommendation I recently used 50 cal cover up with good results. Check the details chat thread. I posted some pics.

Tom what pad did you use to apply it with out of curiosity?

 

[_Tom]

I don't actually know. It was a hand polisher thing I got from Asda with 3 pads..lol! So just a plastic handle which you can also Velcro pads on.

Used Prima Amigo by hand on my old A3. Looked brilliant with a couple of layers of Vics wax over it but I couldn't feel my arm afterwards!

Would af tripple be ok? Want to move on from AG SRP but dunno what to try

Tripple is similar to SRP. Maybe think of it as a newer version. A little nicer to use and fractionally better performance it fills swirls and chemically cleans pretty well. But it won't remove swirls like the others I mentioned
