Put glass over every body panel, make sure it's tempered glass!

That's what they'll do to you here when you post in the wrong section. Hand wash, clay bar, then use a good premium polish then wax. See how that looks.

i did try the clay bar kit i used the meguires one if you know what im i talking about i followed the directions and finished it up with the meguires gold class liquid wax and didnt like the results the swirl marks were still very noticable. i've polished cars in the past but dont really remember what i used as far as pads and polish.

Lazy me, I'd just take it to a local body shop for a buff/polish. For swirls you need to have mechanical assistance. I suppose you could try a Powerball, don't know of any reviews on this tool though.

Get your car wet sanded. It'll take a small layer off your clearcoat and will remove that orange peel as well.

That plus a compound/polish/seal as mentioned above will make it look glass-like.
