First off, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section of the forums to be posting this topic.

A few months ago I leased a 2011 scion tc. After a few car washes, I noticed swirl marks on the car. I baby this car..I hand wash it, 2 bucket method, and I dry it with microfiber towels. I decided to read up on detailing methods to correct the paint so I bought a porter cable 7424xp. I was going to use it a couple months after I bought the car but then someone had to key my car for no reason, as I am the nicest guy ever and never trouble anyone.

The body shop said I couldn't wax or do anything on the panels that were fixed for three months.. Well the three month period is just about up. So I want to correct the swirl marks that was most likely done by the dealership AND now the holograms + buffer trails that the body shop put on the passenger door panel. Thankfully my car is silver and hides the swirls + holograms really well. I can't really see them in direct sunlight, but when I park near a street lamp that's when I really see them.

Here's the method that I am thinking.

Wash
Clay
Ultimate compound on a light cutting orange pad
Swirlx on a white pad
NXT wax

Now, I am a little confused if this is the correct way of correcting the paint. Will the orange pad + ultimate compound be a too aggressive method? If not, is following up with swirlx on a white pad a good idea, or should I use another pad ?
Would ultimate polish be a better follow up?

Sorry for the long post, thanks.
