Wet sanded car, swirl removal, glaze before polish?

I've got some very minor swirls on my '94 black car. The car has been wetsanded before and the paint is very thin, but for 10 year old paint it is smooth as glass and in very good condition. I plan on starting with the least abrasive swirl cutter I have and a mild cutting pad with a PC. I also have a swirl remover for dark cars with filler that I was going to try after the cutting was finished with a finishing pad.

I have a few questions. Will finishing polishes or Klasse AIO end up removing any good the swirl remover did with fillers and, if so, is this step even worth the effort?

I've got 3M Perfect-It III Finishing Glaze and also a very nice non-abrasive finishing polish. In what order should a finishing glaze and a finishing polish be applied, or are they essentially the same thing?

I have some gaps or questions in my process so far as well, most as to what to apply a product with. My plan so far:

Wash
Clay
Wash
Spray with 50/50 Alcohol & Water
Swirl Cut w/Mild Cutting Pad
Swirl Remove w/Finishing Pad
Finshing Glaze w/FINISHING PAD or MF POLISHING BONNET <----------- SWAP ?
Finishing Polish w/FINISHING PAD or MF POLISHING BONNET <----------- SWAP ?
Spray with 50/50 Alcohol & Water
Klasse AIO w/TERRY or MF ?
Klasse SG w/TERRY or MF ?
Pinnacle Souveran Paste w/HAND or FINISHING PAD or MF FINISHING BONNET ?
Pinnacle Carnuba Spray w/FINISHING PAD or MF FINISHING BONNET ?

One last question, what's the best way to remove the souveran paste and the carnuba spray? I was planning on using a MF finishing bonnet with the PC or would a simply MF towel wipe have the same effect?

I am new at this but doesn't the AIO has cleaner effects (abrasive) as well?

I believe it does, but everything I read is saying to use AIO last before sealing.

wash
rinse well
clay while still wet
rinse well and dry
not sure on your products, but minor swirls might come off with polishing pads
50/50 mix to check, if not, try again or move up to mild cut pad
if happy then you could AIO, SG, Pinnacle

Last question , quality MF wipe
