After I dry I use a detail spray that claims it can remove dirt. The reason for that is so i can remove any thing I missed when washing and remove any left over water spots.

Learn the difference between waxes and sealants. I don't think any "wax" will last 6 months. I don't really know much about techwax 2.0 so I cant comment on it.

First thing I have to address is, you have no machine to polish any thing I suspect. There for you wont be doing any polishing.
I may be wrong but if its normal wax and you washed it with a car soap that is harsh you would wash some wax off also I think. You will have to figure out how long techwax lasts on your car and re-apply it based on your own likings.

And should I Clay before getting out swirls, or is that not necessary? I don't want to cause too much stress on the clear coat.

I don't know any thing about SwirlX. I would recommend looking up Junkmans posts on the wash wax forum here. Its very good information.
