Default Is this list good? Recommendations

First of all...i don't own a 350Z, i own a VW...but i know you 350z guys are big fans of zaino, and i have been hearing about how out of this world amazing zaino is....
so i havent waxed/polished my car in forever...i wash it every week but i have swirl marks, and since its getting warmer, the marks are getting visible...

those are good products but your swirls aren't going to go. That hand glaze will take very light ones away but most will still be there.

It will be hard to remove swirls by hand, as they're below surface defects (i.e., scratches in the clear coat). You can hide them by using a polish w/ fillers in it, but the fillers "wash out" over time (I use Meguiar's Gold Class wash, but there are other good ones. Just be sure to use an automotive wash, not household detergent).

I use Meguiar's M105 compound with their W8006 polishing pad on a dual action polisher (Meguiar's G110, G100 or Porter Cable 7524). It worked awesome on my ZR.

Good luck!
