I have yet to use a claybar on my 135. I mainly use only BMW products on it since I dont want any "what-ifs" coming up when using other products. BMW shampoo applied with a microfiber mit. Rinse then spray on BMW Express Wax rinse again. Park in the shade or garage and pull the standing water off with a BMW deerhide chamois. Dry with microfiber cloth and follow up with some Meguire's quick detailer to remove any water spots. Ive had my car since Nov. and I have yet to see any swirls and Water beads up like the day I bought it.

To get rid of the scratches Id use a porter cable buffer with an orange pad and some rubbing compound. buff for a few minutes and follow with a softer black pad and finishing wax. After the finishing wax is buffed out i then take some P21s Pure Carnuba wax, rub it on by hand and buff it out with a clean cloth.

PS A good veggie based soap for cleaning the surface is Murphy's Oil Soap. Much gentler than dish soap. I used it for years on my other cars

Good luck!
