Some nice work going on in here...

Here is mine. Althought it is not a Clio I think this has been my best detail to date!
It was covered in swirls as it is washed with a brush thing It hadn't been cleaned in about a month but tbh its only covered 12k miles in 2 years so its not too bad I guess
So order of the day was:
Pre rinse with my hosecoil and Duragloss Shampoo,
Washed with 2 bucket method, again Duragloss Shampoo,
PC'd with a yellow Sonus SFX pad and PBs SSR2... this was the first combo I used. It removed the vast majority of the swirls, leaving only behind the deeper scratches. I was happy with this as I just wanted to get rid of the swirls and bring back some depth to the paint work.
Finished with Klasse AIO and Serious Performance Sealant.
Before Photos:

My attempt at a 50/50 shot:

Didn't really come out too well...
Afters shots... the weather was **** up in Newcastle when I did it so afters a bit poor. . Still happy with the end results:

how possible is it 2 get results like that without the orbital polisher as i`m tryin 2 get the swirls out of mine so do i use a clay, then scratch x then a polish

You will need lots of time and elbow grease to remove swirls by hand and then you may not be 100% effective.
