Advice on paint scratch removing

Hi guys I recently bought my rx8 and soon learned why used car dealerships don't clean their cars, it's got some pretty bad swirls all over the car that I couldn't see through the dirt and waterspots.
I was planning on trying to get rid of them this weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or tips for me. Right now the plan is to wash it and then clay it and follow that up with either quixx or scratchx. Which one should I go with? I can post some pictures if needed and will at least do some before and after shots. Anyways thanks for any help you can give me.

I have used both and recommend quixx. It really works well. Scratch x won't permanently remove the scratches like quixx.

if it's bad, you may have to have it professionally buffed with a rotary buffer. you may want to look into some recommended detailers in your area. or you could take it back to the dealer and yell at them and make them fix it. trust me, it works.
