Default I haven't played with any of the Menz waxes...

But I love the FMJ product. My normal routine involves 2 coats of FMJ by machine followed by 2 coats of Zymol Glasur by hand. The results are what I like to refer to as "black gold".

Default I used to use 3M medium cut polish..

that worked to an extent. I just tried some new Adam's Polish Swirl and Haze remover with their cutting foam pad on my Porter Cable and it worked a bit better. It couldn't take out the acid etching but it did take off everything else.
