1. poorboys ssr2.5 and then follow up with poorboys polish/sealant..would this be a bit much for fine swirls
2.use klasse aio the fellow up with chemical guys m-sealant or jetseal
3. menzerna p0106ff then chemical guys m-seal (would this be a bit much for fine swirls also?)
these are my final contenders any suggestions or comments are welcome

I've personally used the Menzerna polish you mentioned (with a Flex) and the CG Jet Seal. What equipment are you going to be using the polish with? You need power tools; something like the PC, Flex, or Rotary. You can't use the Menzerna by hand. But I'm sure the other products would work as well.

If you have fine swirls Menzerna 106 on a white pad should work, you may have to use an orange pad.

Klasse AIO will only fill the swirls and hide them

I'm not a fan of Poorboy's polishes but I do like the sealant.

On Monaco Blue, I would suggest a sealant then a wax since it sits outside.

Jetseal topped with CG 50/50 or Pete's 53

After polishing, make sure you do an IPA wipedown (50/50 mix of iso-propyl alcohol and distilled water) and then apply your sealant.

Apply JetSeal like the instruction say but don't apply the Natty's for at least 12 hours. This will allow the sealant to cure porperly and then the Natty's will bind properly. Go with Natty's Red, I didn't like Natty's Blue.
