Couple small questions:

If I have small swirl marks, not really bad, but looking close with the light right they are definitely there, should I just use a polishing compound? Rubbing compound? I don't have a buffer. If I'm going to wash/clay/seal the car soon would I do this after claying?

When I wash the car now I do 2 buckets, some p21s shampoo and uber wash sponge. My soap bucket gets nice and foamy but it seems hard to get enough foam on the car without constantly filling the soap bucket to generate suds. Also I don't know if I should wash the whole car, then rinse, or wash & rinse in sections. Seems like I always have spots after I rinse and if I don't go over the car with a detail spray it looks dirty up close.

What should I do with a little bit of peeling paint to prevent rust? Our car got beat up badly by hail. We fixed the glass and I don't care about the dents but a few of the large ones created cracks where the paint has peeled on the edge. It's a beater car with tons of mechanical life left so we'll just drive it like this, but I don't want it to start rusting.
