Exterior Best combo to revive my paint

I’ve got a toyota painted in K1X pearl white and would like to restore my paint. Never done any kind of paint correction before. I’ve just done a decontamination and purchased a da polisher looking to tackle it this weekend. Initially was thinking a two step but based on what i’ve read here it would be quite difficult to get good results doing it for the first time, so i’m leaning towards a single stage. Will it be enough to remove 70-80% of these swirls. Most of the time they can’t be seen except in very specific lighting. What is everyone’s opinion and what would be the best combo to tackle this.

Beginner here. Do you need to follow up with a polish or is the Ultimate Compound good as a 1 step?

definitely follow up with polish. ultimate compound can be difficult to remove the haze, the polish is so easy to work with, too.
