You can use scratch x (think that's the name of it) to get rid of light swirls and some deap marks, i use an applicator pad that is harder one side and softer the other side like using a polishing pad and finishing pad on a rotory polisher, then i would give a once over with Isopropyl alcohol to get rid of polishing residues i then used Autoglym super resin polish which is mainly a filler to hide remaining swirls.
Then i use a glaze, then a sealent and finally a couple of coats of wax over the top, a wax like dodo juice is good for a wet look but has less durability than something like collinite 476 which on my corsa has one coat 3 months ago and still beading well.
Routine above was used on mine and had some decent recents.

dodo juice lime prime is pretty good at getting swirls out of subaru paint(soft),if using by hand get some german applicator pads,myself personally you'd be better off investing in an orbital polisher with some pads,take a look on polishing bliss's website they have some good recommendations for certain paints
