It's quite good. What I did was Scratch-X'd the entire car (my silver Corsa). Then went over it with some Stage 2 Polish. The sealed it all with some Tech Wax. It seemed to get the paint nice and clean. However, this was on a silver car so you don't see the swirls. Dark cars might be a bit more risky.

supposed to apply it about 3 or 4 times before it does anything. Unless you're planning to enter show and shines I wouldnt let swirls worry you too much.

Yea, it's a very fine cutting compund, because if it was the real thing, Joe Public would slap a load on and wonder why there is no paint left on thier car.

I sometimes use the 3 stage Meguairs. The paint cleaner is a bit watery and the polish is hard work. The Carnabau wax is very good though.

The Terry towels are good too, not sure if they can scratch the paint though..

dont need to be foamy, just needs to lubricate and autoglym is good for that.
