To get swirls out of paint you need to polish it with a cutting pad and polisher. The type of polish and pad depend on how bad the swirls are. The type of polisher I would recommend depends on you experience. With no prior experience polishing your car I would recommend random orbital polisher like the Porter Cable 7424 instead of a rotary. I always start with the least agressive pad and polish that I think will do the job. I do a test spot on part of the car to see how well it does. If required I move on to a more agressive combination of pad and polish.
