See my post above...
My car in the sunlight looks great now.
IMO the ONLY real way to actually remove towel scratches and swirls from the clear coat (not just fill them in) is to machine buff them out with a electric or air powered high speed buffing wheel, Do not confuse this with your typical $20 orbital buffer/waxer.
If your not experienced with a high speed wheel/buffer, you can burn through the clear coat.
I use 3M products Profect-it 3000 Swirl mark remover made for air or electric buffers and a 3M foam polishing pad for the buffer.
This method will actually remove the wax/polish and light scratches/swirls, it buffs out the clear coat on the car.
When your done, its like brand new paint again and needs to be waxed.
I also only use microfiber clothes/towels on the back cars, anything else I've found just scratches/swirls it all over again.
Another trick I learned from Zaino, which does help, is to never use a circular motion when washing, drying, or waxing it, only use a up/down motion on the side panels, and front to back motion on the top panels.
