The Swirlbuster should remove the sealant OK. If you want you can always do a quick wipe-down with a
50/50 IPA mix (50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water).
Since you aren't very familiar with this polish yet here is a tip: try working a small area with the polish for different amounts of time, and examine that section with your halogens until you discover the best "working time" that leaves the best finish. That will give you a better feel for how the polish appears when it is properly broken down, but not worked until dry. This is basically the info that
blkyukon gave you in this
post.
I haven't tried my Swirlbuster combo yet, but I agree with
wannafbody that it was developed as a
final polish. It also seems that other members have reported using it with good results, but I'm not sure if they inspected it with halogen lights like you did. It might be possible that on *your* paint you will need to step down to a lighter pad as others have mentioned. I don't think you want to use another polish because that will compromise the filling properties of the
Swirlbuster Polish. Quote:

I like them all, but OP is hard to beat for a new user because it is so versatile (can use it with different pads to get more/less cut), it has a very long working time, and doesn't dust.
As you have discovered the key is to inspect after you finish a polish step so you can correct any problems before you finish and wax/seal the whole car.... and then have to go back and redo it again.
Take your time, be patient, and you'll learn how the products you have will work to give you the best results.
