Gen5 sick of swirls

this winter has been particularly harsh on my camry (dark blue stratospehere mica 2003)....its been really cold first off and snowed a bit as well....i havent exactly had the time to wash or wax the car much, and the paint is looking quite swirled...
i know polish is made to remove light scratches and swirls, but do you guys have any helpful tips/suggestions for polishing my camry or what to use? i was looking at some of the polishes and waxes from adam's or Klasse, as in the past ive only used poorboys natty paste wax once a month and nothing more
any help is appreciated!

If you're working by hand, a multi-step system can really help dark colors -- even if you're working by machine, for that matter.

But especially if you're working by hand or light-duty random-orbital, try claying first and then using a 3-step like the Mothers Pre-Wax Cleaner, followed by the Sealer & Glaze and finishing with Pure Carnauba Wax.

Proper washing techniques can help keep it looking good, and following every wash with a little spray wax.

Detailing your vehicle (Exterior)

I use PoorBoys SSR polishes and Sonus SFX. I've also used Mothers and Meguiars polishes.

Just get a buffer and some light polish and give it a try.
