Recommendations on a wax, please.

Polish is only real way to take care of swirls. Go for a PC as they are safe and easy to use. for a wax in that range, try Pinnacle Signature series II and a cheaper option, is Optimum Spray wax. Both are great waxes and last a good amount time. If you end up polishing, also try some sealant before wax. It will look great and have a longer amount of protection. Oh and don't forget to Clay.

I put a coat of Maguire's SwirlX on before I wax and it does ok. Doesn't completely get rid of the swirls/scratches, but masks them pretty well.

Pinnacle is good stuff, I have their XMT polishes, grades 4,3, and 1. Number 1 is perfect with the porter cable buffer for removing those fine spider web/hairline scratches that occur over time from drying or quick detailing with a micro fiber cloth. I like Meguiar's NXT sealant for a nice gloss protective finish. You can do what many pros do and come back over that with a pure carnuba wax to really add depth and make the finish pop. The following are two good detailing forum sites you can learn from:
