I heard compounding is a solution, but I dunno enough about it to know for sure.

A good wax will hide some swirl marks but not heavy ones. And in the right light at the right angle they will always be there unless you use a machine.

first clay bar your truck to remove those little bits and bumps stuck to your paint...if you leave those there what you technically do when you wax, buff or anything is spreading those across the paint. thus, creating more swirl marks, after the clay bar, use some rubing compound. best results is with a DA Buffer or anything electrical is better than by hand. after that use polishing compound and protect it all with a final coat of wax by hand

What level of perfect are you trying to attain?

You can never have a great finish done by hand

IMO

You need a machine.

A wax that fills in stuff will look great till after the first hard rain
