you try using scratch X for fine swirl marks.
here this is from the site

ScratchX is the most effective way to remove fine scratches and swirls from automotive paint by hand. This product is guaranteed to deliver the finest results possible by hand (some scratches require removal by machine applied professional formulas). ScratchX removes surface contaminants, oxidation and blemishes as well as enhances paint color. Unlike many paint correction formulas on the market, ScratchX will not leave more scratches than it takes out. It's ideal for use as a quick touch up or to revive a car's entire finish.

now this is a preparation product. your best bet would be is to go to there site for paint car and product lists witch has a description and MSRP on the product and that should help.

I'd be careful with that simoniz buffer thoughm they sometimes do more harm than good, try it by hand

try the wax first on it's own in a small area..
see what results it gives you..
go to something else only if you need to as it sounds like you're personally venturing into unknown territory
