What else with clay bar?
I am going to do the clay bar treatment soon. What else should I do while the finish is clean? Swirl remover etc or just put a good coat of wax back on and call it quits?

If you are satisfied with the paint appearance after the clay bar, then simply apply some wax. If you have any hairline scratches or swirls you want to remove, then you'll need a polish to do so before applying the wax. Remember, the clay bar is not going to remove any paint defects/blemishes, it will only remove contaminants from the paint surface. It takes a polish to remove paint defects/blemishes such as scratches and swirls.
Terrabella nailed the complete process... Although I'm not sure what step (2) is as the polishing step (3) will also clean.

Depends on how your paint is. If you have swirls, then a swirl remover would be good. A nice polish with an automotive approved DA will do wonders. Finish off with a good wax for protection. Here is a picture of my black fairing that had a few swirls before I hit it with a low speed car DA and swirl remover
