Although you might not be into car cleaning. Like many thing in life prevention is better then cure.
The swirls are created by a dirty/gritty sponge being applied.
I thoroughly recommend the 2 bucket method, one with warm soapy water to saturate the sponge and then rinse in a secondry bucket of mildly soapy water, to rinse out and ring it out. The main bucket hardly gets dirty and massivley reduces swirling.
Detailing and polishing is another world completely. And probably best left to someone with the right tools and experience. Paint depth gauge is vital many a nice car has been ruined by a machine polisher. Even high end cars can have very thin lacquer layer.
