Menzerna, poorboys ssr's etc are good enough.
Have a look at this site aswell: blok51.com, good enough prices on most stuff.

I'd look at 3Ms perfect-it / finesse-it ranges choose a grade that suits the level of paint rectification required, it's a professional product that is better then most of the commercial grade Megs, Poorboys, AG, etc, plus if you get it from a motor factor there's a fair chance you'll get it at trade price which makes it excellent value, because 1 litre usually comes out at around the same as 500ml of popular commercial brands, regardless of which compound you use I'd recommend a Colinite wax as the LSP (last stage product) wax's from Blit-amber, and Finish Kare are worth considering, Do-Do juice special hard wax's are good but can be tricky to apply, the wax's I've mentioned offer fantastic shine, beading and longevity while been much easier to use.
