I would go for #81, use it on my L all the time and really like it. Easy to use and looks very good!
Also I found #7 left a slight oil feeling on the surface (still works well), I have only used it a couple times so I never really had a chance to fine tune its application. Somewhere I remember reading that #7 provided better results on a single stage paint. There is a good write up on #7 somewhere on here but can't find it.
As for a LSP I lean just a little more to NXT Wax over the new #21 both provide VERY GOOD results.
1st Wash after #83, #80, #26, NXT. Meg's is really onto something with this system. If you're new to MOL, pay attention to the advice these folks offer. I've never owned a car that looked this good.
FYI: The side picture with the reflection of the brick house....that house is across the street!
I wanted to share these because I was so happy with the reflective quality of the paint.
This was just a wash with Mr. Clean Autodry and the drying process I mentioned here:
One other thing. You can see the white van at my next door neighbor's house. We call it the 'hoopty'. He told me I can practice anything I want on it. Rotary, compound, whatever. He has a Harley Fatboy that up until two weeks ago had some pretty bad swirls in it. He takes very good care of it, but is just learning how to properly care for the painted surfaces. After I got all his swirls out, he went to Autozone and started stocking up: #26, NXT, WW, MF.
He offered up the hoopty so I won't be afraid to experiment and learn more 'magic'.

Sounds like a great neighbor! The best way to learn a new procedure is on a car nobody cares about, that way if you make a mistake during your learning curve, nobody will get mad.
