I would never have guessed your SLK was a 99. I avoided a red SLK thinking it would be difficult to keep up the shine. What are you using ByebyeAmericanpie?
I use different things depending on what I need at the time. The most aggressive system I use is the Mequiers 3 step system.

1. Clay the entire car then Paint cleaner/swirl remover applied with a Porter Cable DA unit.
2. Polish step applied with the PC,
3.(this is where I diverge from Meguiers recommended process) I use either S100 (Same as P21S) paste wax or Mequiers #26 yellow wax applied by hand.

When I finish this process, the car is 100% swirl free and glows like Rudolphs nose!

Other times I will use Mequiers NXT or Zymol when I dont need an agggressive cleaning step.
