paint problems, (swirls stains scartchs oxidation

I doing my girlfriends 1992 red skylark.
THe paint has all the defects of a car that has been neglicated.

So to start off I used this combo.
1. Meguires medium cut cleaner with red foam cutting pad (went over twice)
2. switched to yellow pad and used GM swirl remover
3. put a 3m hand glaze on
4. Turtle wax

I still see scratchs and dullness. NOt happy with results.

Should I Wet sand first?

You might be seeing the haze left behind from that cutting pad still. I would suggest some more polishing with milder polishes and pads (in a step down fashion) before you go wet sanding the car.

Some pics might also help in describing your problem.
