Clay).

Hope that helps.

A close-up pic of your paint is the missing component. We need to know how bad your paint is. For example, my car had no visible swirls but there was some hazing that I had caused with polishing compound. That said, I washed, dried, clay bar'd, polished (with Porter-Cable random orbiter), sealed, and then waxed. No more hazing with a perfect mirror finish.

Again, it depends on the quality of your finish.
