How to revive paint shine

Hey Fellas - so I was itching for blue and decided to plastidip the car blue, it was harder than I thought so after a coat I decided to remove it and stick with original paint color (alpina white) - heres the bummer, I used fiber cloth and rubbed it all down ... now my paint has slight swirl marks (only visible in light reflection) .. I tried to clay it, tried wax, tried the shine reviver ... its gotten better but still doesnt look like a clean car ... Is there a product I can use that will restore the shine and revive paint ... appreciate the time you guys took to read through this -

You can look into klasse AIO and their glaze sealant i use the AIO for everything, and I mean EVERYTHINGGG

you use the AIO first and then the glaze sealant and then after that you can layer up with some wax.

Are you doing this by hand or with a machine????? To effectively remove swirls or other minor defects requires abrasion. Machine polishing is much more efficient than the hand method. Unfortunately, there is no "Magic in a Bottle" that you can simply wipe on and wipe off.

all these waxes and sealants will hide swirls for some time and they will come back after few washes, so if you want to get rid of them you need to get PAINT CORRECTION done with machine "by yourself or by a professional".
