Acura TL-Graphite Luster Metallic-Product Recommendation

[explorerlyon]

I just picked up a new to me 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD-Graphite Luster Metallic to replace a prior Acura I had. The paint is full of mild to medium swirls. Looking for suggestions on paint correction and sealant for this color. I have some leftover products and need to buy more. Here is what I already have, but open to trying something new. I had metalic paint on my other Acura and some products did not make the metallic pop. This is a daily driver.

1. Nanoskin Autoscrub Speedy Prep Sponge. Will this do or should I buy more clay (I am out of clay)
2. Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover
2. Pinnacle Finishing Polish
3. Griots DA
4. NEED new pads-what to you recommend?
5. Blackfire Wet Diamond (been using it for a while, ok trying something else)
6. Blackfire Midnight Sun (been using it for a while, ok trying something else)

I also need to remove a poor looking clear bra that covers the front 1/4 of the hood. Any tips on removal?

Thanks
