What you washing it with sponge ? Chamois Leather for drying is going to be a possible cause.
The NXT will just mask the swirls, when washing it chances are you are just revealing them again.
Need a actual polish to remove them.
Russ - Halfords dont sell it. Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner or Motorcyle Cleaner would be a good alternative.

Hope you polish and protect them again after using white spirit.
Wheels are just painted like your body work hence I treat them in the same way, wash, polish, seal, wax. I am about as likely to wipe white spirit all over them in the same way as I am as likely to rub it over the body work.

Depends on the Sealant or wax used.
Sealants can give a clearer look, but some will mute, the same with Waxes.
The Swissvaxs recommended will give a clear deep glossy look without the muting of fine metallic flakes.
Personally I would use Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and then a Swissvax Wax, Onyx, Saphir or Best of Show depending what you want to spend on a wax.
Sealant route, AG SRP and EGP or Jeffs Acrylic Jet Trigger and then one of the above Carnubas.
Final Finish should give a crystal clear finish as it is. Glaze after will give very little extra.
I would not bother with the Final Touch Glaze unless you have imperfections left.

If you already have EGP on it I may be tempted to put one coat of 476 and then use the P21s after the first wash.
P21s will have the edge in looks. If you have a the SRP and EGP base under it you will have a good 2-3 months protection anyway so just use P21s to add to the looks.
Just bang on a coat of P21s when you get the chance, personally when I used to use it on my daily drive I applied a coat every...
AG Clean Wheels or Wonder Wheels will both shift most things, but will dull the finish so prepare to have to polish after. Try either cut with water first and see if they are strong enough before cracking them out at full in the bottle strength.
