For the products you mentioned the proper order of use would be;

paint cleaner
swirl remover or polish (what products specifically)
glaze
carnauba wax

If you have a lot of swirls, I'd suggest using a Porter-Cable polisher with a product like Meguiar's #80 or #83 followed by #80. If you are trying to remove the swirls by hand I'd suggest using ScratchX but your arms may fall off before you finish. Work in small 2' x 2' sections at a time and repeat the application until the swirls are gone then move on.

You might want to clay it after washing it, and if the swirl marks are really bad, you may want to try to find a Porter Cable to do the work.

Wash, clay, rewash, paint cleaner, swirl remover, polish, glaze, 2-3 coats wax, park in sun and let mother nature warm her up.
