Now that all the mechanical work has been compleated on my wilshire green 1940 180 ready to address the paint. Paint actually looks nice until one looks close and sees swril marks everywhere. As I only have wipe a micro fiber towel across the surface of the paint to get some wilshire paint on the towel am a bit reluctant in trying to remove the swril marks. Am I being overly cautious here?

Bill,

Assuming your paint is single stage, based on your comment about paint rubbing off on the microfiber, I'd read through this detailed post about caring for and/or rejuvenating single stage paint.
