As we said before, you'd probaby be at it for quite a while with swirlx to completely remove the fine scratches by hand. It's very hard to see the difference in gloss on a white or silver car.
Yea, I may just get someone to professionally detail the car later on and just maintain it. The swirls are acceptable atm and like you said, not very noticeable on a white car.

Red and black are the two of the colours that benefit the most from polish. The Mitsu red paint is notorious for oxidising and going chalky, polishing it would have removed the hazy dead layer of paint on top. I don't think it's clear coated? Did red paint come off on the polishing foam/rag?
Yup there was a hazy/chalky layer on the paint which is now gone. It might not be clear coated? Yea some red paint came off on the polishing foam whereas nothing came of on my car.

You need a tar and bug remover, something like Tarminator, Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover, Meguiar's Gold Class Tar Remover... Any number of brands. Wash the area and re-apply wax to the area when you're done, the tar remover will remove all the wax and sealant.

I am presuming (and hoping) you don't have dealer paint protection?

Oh ok, Was on a bit of a budget so didnt buy a tar & bug remover but will next time.

Nope no paint protection
