I've removed some swirls with polish. After that i've applied harly wax (carnuaba) with my fingers, but when i go to remove it with a new microfiber cloth a lot of swirls come back! How can this append?!?!? I used other times syntethic wax like Meguiars NXT that dont this joke. Syntethic wax is better?

oh yeah one more thing, im doing a polish by hand what do you recommend?
As for polishing, I highly suggest getting a random orbital and a few cutting pads to actual do the polishing. For me, the results are night and day between using a machine for this part of the detail and pulling out an applicator pad and rubbing it around and around.

Wait...when you say by hand, are you referring to my post above where I applied my wax with my bare hands? I didn't use an applicator pad or anything. I literally stuck my hands and finger tips into the jar of wax, got a nice glob in between my finger tips and starting waxing and buffing it into the car.

P21S is probably the worst wax out there. I would take Turtle Wax/ Megs/ Mothers over P21S any day. P21S contains parrafin/beeswax which does nothing to help protect your paint. One thing thats great about it is the ease of application/removal. And This crap doesnt last?!>!?
P21S has now released a new carnauba based wax which is good, but nothing special. At the $50 price point, there are a lot of better options out there.
P21S is also the same as S100 (their motorcycle line). SO find the S100 alternative and save yourself some cash. The S100 version of the wax is only $16.00

How about read this:
http://guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=51
http://guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=48
I import CARLACK68 into the Philippines which is like KLASSE in the US.
First I clayed my M5. Then I did a round of AIO all-in-one. Then 3 coats of the LONG LIFE ACRYLIC. And then 1 coat of P21S. I'm planning to renew my LONG LIFE acrylic sealant every 3 months. The P21S should be every month.
