Porsche Garage Overhaul - ready for a 911

Thanks Radcap.
The Blackfire products I use for a full detail (after claying once every 9 months or so) are:
Step 1 - SRC Compound. (scratch/swirl removal if required)
Step 2 - Gloss Enhancing Polish
Step 3 - Wet Diamond Sealer ( this stuff is the most amazing product of all. Easy application and removal. Magnificent results)
Step 4 - Midnight Sun Wax (both the paste and spray versions are excellent)
About every 2 to 3 months I'll do a quicker detail starting at step 3.
Step 4 every Month after washing. And after a regular weekly was I'll use the Midnight Sun detail spray.
The products are designed to give Black paint an amazing deep liquid glow rather than a synthetic shiny look ( difficult to explain but easy to see)
Scratch Resistant Compound:
See example below when I removed the dealer swirls. Compounded area on left of tape, untouched area on right.

I have a question regarding those swirls: I have these swirls on my black 2007 C2 since I bought it and always accepted them as somewhat god given, read permanent. If I get you correctly, these are removable??!!
Excuse my ignorance but past washing the car I have no idea how to do all this advanced detailing - could you point me in the right direction (youtube link or similar)?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome garage, I might just copy your color scheme some day.

EDIT.
Coincidentally, there is a great deal on the Griots buffer kit including pads and Blackfire products here for the next 24hrs

Perfect garage except you missed one key component: a BEER FRIDGE!
BTW, as a fellow Atlantan, you should come join the Peachstate PCA for some DE track days at Road Atlanta in your 997.2! It's almost a sin to have that level of German engineering in your garage and not stretch it's legs at a nearby world-class road course!
