You could do only SIP/Nano as a two step product. Power Gloss is very aggressive. Just make sure to finish off with Nano and a blue or red pad and your finish should be perfect if you did the compounding (correcting) step correct.

Power gloss=strong compound and will need a finer polish afterwards
Power finish=all in one one step polish
Final polish=polish used to remove slight imperfections and after compounding

You really can't use Power Finish as a one step polish because it will need to be followed up with a finishing polish and pad such as Nano and a blue pad. To be done correctly, go over the blemishes with SIP and a white pad. If the blemishes are still there, go back over it with SIP and an orange pad, then back over it with a white pad, finally stepping down to your finish polish and pad. If the swirls/blemishes are very slight, you could get away with using a one step product such as Nano and a green pad. There's really no "short cut" to paint correction.

Powerfinish should be followed up with a finishing polish and pad. Scholls makes very nice polishes, then the only polishes that 3M that are decent is the Extra-cut Compound and Ultrafina finishing polish. If you polish the vehicle correctly glaze is not needed.
