Do you have an electric polisher/buffer ??? To remove swirls, you really need to abrade the surface which requires pads/polisher and polishes. Menzerna is my polishes of choice personally .....
As for products ... it really comes down to the time and desire to detail. If you don't really want to deal with this again and again, then jump to a coating. One application and likely you wont need anything else applied until its sold. Waxes and sealants wear out much quicker.
Just remember to study good washing and drying techniques.

if you are paying for the detailing, then you need to decide what the budget allows........
personally if it were mine, and costs were a factor I would go with sealant or if budget allowed then a coating.
Sealant would offer 6 months or so protection, then you could reapply yourself, coating about a year maybe longer depending upon exposure to elements and environment.
