You call that white thing a car?
Claying should help it along, the paint should feel like glass afterwards. Just make sure to kneed the bar all the time and use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the excess lube off.

Don't skimp out using tissues or paper towels to wipe it up. Do it properly the first time

I used the meguiars paint restoration kit. So I washed, clay bar'd, polished and waxed.
The paint is much shinier but it still has large amounts of swirl marks, how can I go about removing these?

Im no pro detailer but i would suggest meguiars ultimate compound, might take a while if your doing it by hand though.
That (and maybe Meg's swirl x) and some polish should get rid of swirling.
Someone with a bit more detailing knowledge should be able to chime in and verify this or recommend better stuff.

The Meguairs Paint Restoration Kit would've come with Ultimate Compound in the kit. From what I've experienced, it is a temporary fix to the problem and usually has filling agents in it. This will fill in ultra fine scratches and swirls and give the illusion of being polished. Product definitely works as advertised however its quite misleading to the average enthusiast.
If you are looking for a permanent finish, you will need to use cutting compounds that will remove the layer of clear coat that has been damaged. Once the paint has been corrected you will need to protect it with a natural wax or sythetic sealant and use proper washing techniques
