Received a beta sample of some Chemical Guys Polish that has a long work time as Optimum Polish, but removes swirls using a PC much more efficiently given my experience on two test cars this weekend.

Here was my process for this 1999 Ford Mustang (only 20k original miles on it):
Wash car and rinse/dry, then clayed entire vehicle.
Polished car using the Beta polish with a green Excel pad, then used Chemical Guys Creme Glaze with a black Excel pad, and hand applied Smartwax.
On the chrome rims, I used Blue-B-Gone Metal Polish by Smartwax.

This is my SUV and I tried a less thick beta polish that smelt like oranges. Nice change of pace as far as fragrance of a polish goes. It seemed to provide a bit more gloss than the beta product I used on the Mustang. It still had that amazing swirl removal ability using a PC that I find lacking in OCP unless you use a rotary.
Both products were winners:
Process here was to wash and clay horizontal surfaces only, polish using an Excel orange pad, then top with XXX Hardcore Wax by CG.
OH, by the way, I wanted to see if any fillers were in the polish, and so I mixed 50/50 water and rubbing alchohol and wiped a panel down that I had just polished and saw the swirls removed. After applying the mix, then drying, I noticed no change to the nice swirl free finish I had.

All in all, once this become available, which I am told should be soon, you folks that enjoy Optimum Car Polish are in for a real treat.
