I think one thing you should do if you get a warm day, and you can do this yourself before detailing the car.......get a bottle of Dawn dish detergent and wash the car. Dawn is supposed to remove all wax. Then get a clay bar, I'd suggest Meguairs, Mothers, Zaino, Adams, they are all excellent products. Clay bar your car. This will remove a lot of c r a p (sorry) that is attached to your finish. Use a bar not the liquid clay that some company is offering. That will get your finish ready for swirl removal/detailing.
As for Turtle wax products.....I don't use them, haven't for a long time. Personally I use Meguiars Gold car wash (the best) and Zaino wax products. I also use Meguairs Scratchx and Plastx for the headlights.
