OP w/ a light cutting pad will remove minor swirling like that. I'll also leave it LSP ready. Top with something like the AJ if if you want a sealent. Something like OCW also looks very good on lighter cars. EX-P also works well for light coloured cars, although some will question it durability as a sealent.
There's nothing wrong with doing a very light polish on a car that new either. We refer to dealer installer swirls around here for a reason
The reason you're seeing them so easily has nothing do with the protection or lack of. Wax's with fillers may hide these, but you're just masking the problem. A very light polish should take that right out. Make sure you top with an LSP and you're good to go
Winter is coming up (not sure where you are) so you might want to think about doing a few layers in your choice of sealent as well if this is a DD.
Regarding the SSR-1. I've honestly stayed away from the PB's polishes as of late because I just cannot get them to stop dusting. I've tried tons of different ways (QD's etc) and nothing seems to stop it from dusting. I suppose a small dilution of RMG would help as well. This is why I've keeping going back to OP for minor swirling/marring.
