    What about this stuff, is this a polish or a glaze?

    It's a polish with a slight cut, by hand I'd recommend Gtechniq P1

    I've just watched the video on the page you linked to. You can use this on the whole car as normal? Would any 2 sided applicator be OK?

    Thanks

    Yes you can polish all the paintwork with P1 and the 2 sided german applicators are good but Gtechniq sell applicators as well so may as well get them if you are going to try P1

    It looks like chemicalguys have change the ProPolish, mine is just a polish, and has accu-beads, or whatever they're called. They basically break down, and down, and down. It looks like they have replaced it with No778.

    I tend to use ProPolish, Fast Glaze, then Jet seal, and get good results, but it all depends on how bad the swirls are, how involved you want to get, and how thick/hard/soft the paint is.

    Have a look on A world for detailers..., as they have more specific advice on everything polish related.
