Good correctional setup
So I just bought a black corvette, and it has tons of swirls, as well as some clear coat hazing on the lower bumper. Basically, lots of correction needed.
Evaluate my list:
Optimum no rinse-cleaner
Meg clay kit(any suggestions on other clay?)
Meg ultimate compound
Meg ultimate polish
Nxt 2.0 wax.

I'd look at getting a Nanoskin Clay Towel Fine Grade instead. It will last longer, be faster, and if you drop it you don't have to throw it away you just rinse it off and your good as new. It's more up front but once you use one you won't go back to actual clay.
If your looking to stay with meguiars products I'd use 105/205 combo instead. Or look at HD Cut/HD Polish combo.
For wax I'd use a wax like HD Poxy or Blackfire Wet Diamond or D301, but if you like 2.0 use it.
ONR is a great product and good choice, another I'd look into would be Infinite use detail juice that stuff is real good too

I'd look into the meguiars 105/205 or HD Cut/HD Polish for correcting the paint. Then either Blackfire Wet Diamond or HD Poxy for wax. I'd get the Nanoskin towel then if you haven't already bought the clay bar.
Are you using a Porter Cable or Griots or flex?

spend the extra money and get the FLEX. I have the PC and the flex goes to the next level of correction.

As most have mentioned, you're going to want a machine to make your life easier. Corvettes have notoriously hard clear coat and attempting to remove any substantial paint defects by hand will be a frustrating exercise in futility.
Check out our polisher kits, especially our Basic Flex Kit. It includes all three of our machine polishes and corresponding pads as well.
Keep in mind that our products all come with a 110% money back guarantee, the only one in the industry. Also, if you purchase a machine from us, it not only comes with the standard 1 year factory warranty, but Adam's will warranty it FOR LIFE!
