How about you get it professionally detailed? Thay should take out 99% of the swirls. Plus its a lot better than getting a new paintjob.

Just take it to a detailer and he'll knock that hazing right out. To those guys it's easy cuz they see it every day. Then ask him how they got there in the first place. You have to wash and wax your car a certain way or it will happen again. I have the same color; at the factory they were painted in a FLAT blue and then a clear coat to protect it. The clear coat gives it the shine and gives all of us the additional advantage of being able to be polished down to a very slightly thinner coating to shine like new again. It is made to do that. Wash the car ONLY with car wash soap, never dish detergent. ONLY use a car wash mitt and a second one to do the wheels as brake dust in car wash water is a no no. Do them LAST. Before washing blast off all the junk thrown up behind the wheels on the lower fenders. Wash car from top to bottom and dry ONLY with a bathroom type towel or chamois. Rinse the mitts well when done and when they get old get a new ones. That should do it. Avoid automatic car washes.
