Need advice on swirl mark removale!

Hey every! I have an E90 and the last owner put some swirl marks in the paint. The more I upgrade my car the more aggravating it gets... So I've done some research and I want to know if my steps on removing them is smart...

1: wash
2: clay
3: swirlX 2.0
4: colorX
5: wax
6: wax again

Are these good steps?*

if you are attempting to remove swirls by hand, it will not work.

You need to invest in a random orbital polisher to effectively remove the swirls. If you intend to hide the swirls, then using a filler wax would work.

Your steps are fine, but you need to clarify how you are implementing steps 3 and 4.
