More coats of wax/more shine waxes.
Read the label on the Gold Class to see how long you should let it set in between coats. I'd apply 3-4 for a nice deep look to the paint, and plenty of gloss. If the label doesnt say how long to wait in between coats, I'd recommend 24 hours.
a Wax I just recently got was P21S. It seems to work wonders. I put two coats of it ontop of two coats of Megiuars Gold Class Liquid Wax, and it looks amazing....
Good luck.

Nope, Doesn't work like that... That would be too easy. You have to let the wax "Cure" aka harden, and set so it doesnt just melt right off. You have to wait 24 hours in between coats 
One thing Zymol wax (The one I have, but its a cleaner wax, not a wax wax) said is you can go over the wax with cold water, and it will help set the wax to cure... I'm not sure about this, might want some other input.

Some of the mis-information in this thread is more blinding than your car ever will be. 
Cure time is completely dependent on what products you use. In your case I'd do a full swirl removal and then use a sealant. Top the sealant with a non abrasive, non cleaner carnauba wax.
So long as you are using non abrasive sealants and waxes, you can layer as many of them as you want. You cannot layer waxes or sealants that are abrasive or contain "cleaners".
Most quality products cannot be bought in a store so start shopping online. Buy a bunch of nice towels and applicators, cheap applicators just add more swirls and produce cheap results. Start reading product reviews to figure out what sealants you want to try. I think the Jeff's Werkstatt lineup would be good place to start.
I'm a huge fan of Menzerna polishes for swirl removal/defect correction. A PC, the polishes, the sealants/waxes, and towels will set you back at a minimum of $200, and probably more. Be ready to spend some $$$
