Default swirl marks in my paint

my bsp xb has some serious swirl marks in it. It looks better up close a little dirty. It hides the swirls but when clean it looks good from a far. What do you guys recommend for swirls? when i waxed it i used mequiars gold class paste. And that didn't help. When i picked the xb up from the dealer it had swirls in the paint but i didn't think it was scratches i thought it had some kind of shine on it. Anyways what do you recommend? and do you think that liquid wax would be better for waxing than a paste? because it doesn't clump up? that could cause scratches. smearing them around.

fixed the problem i spent sunday handwaxing my car with 3m swirl remover for dark colors, then followed up with the 3m show quality wax and the results are great. i'm happy with it and the price was under 20 bucks and 7 hours in the shop with my box.

The best thing ive used is a rubbing compund from 3M. It eliminates swirl marks the right way insted of filling them in with wax, and gets rid of old wax and dirt. Give it an application of meguiars gold class wax afterwards and you will be very impressed. DO NOT LET THE RUBBING COMPOUND DRY or APPLY IT IN ThE SUN!!!! Its a _____ to take off if it drys up on a hot car.
