All finished! Looks nice and shiny and I'm very pleased but my paintwork doesn't half have a lot of stone chips in it and my neighbours sure have made a lot of dents in it.

Thanks everyone. Tbh the biggest improvement was the clay mitt, that's where the shine really came up. The polish seemed to help a lot with the swirls: there's still some light scratches visible but it was really awful before. Maybe if I can make the polishing a bit more regular they will improve.
