This is not to say that some products are not better than others, but I think results (shine levels and lack of swirl marks) is 90% technique and 10% product.
Use clean microfiber wash mitts and do your car one section at a time, taking the extra time to clean out your wash mitt in between sections. Wash your wheels first. Use the two bucket method with a grit guard if you can to make sure you're rinsing out that mitt. Do not use a ton of hand pressure when washing or drying your car and use straight lines rather than a swirling motion. If you really want to step it up, get a pressure washer, foam cannon, an orbital buffer and a leaf blower or other blow drying device as all of those can really enhance your results. There's a lot of info on Youtube these days that can show you the tips you need to be successful.

+1 to this!
That being said, I've used Chemical Guys in the past and plan to do so going forward. Since I've gotten FULL PPF I might have to change the type of products they offer but having the right technique as what VBB indicates is very important.
