you should have done a side by side comparison!

i think are a lot of solutions, but comparing liquid clay to traditional clay... i don't know... I would stick with the traditional clay...

in your case, either paint cleaner, rubbing compound, or traditional clay bar would work too...

I'm sure traditional clay would work better, but since I don't know what I'm doing I'll stick to the less effective but less likely to **** something up method

swirl remover basically remove a thin layer off of your clear coat and that is why it works. by waxing the car won't make it any better. you are just adding a layer over it. use clay bar or paint cleaner from meguires.

i am not sure what acid wash is, it sounds pretty bad and I would avoid it....
