swirls

The swirl marks are in your clear coat from a buffer. This is why your higher end detailers do not use a buffer! Buffers always leave them. The good news is you don't need a new paint job. Removing the swirl marks is a very tedious job and best results are achieved by a professional. The same thing happened to me when I took my car to the dealer for chemical spotting. They had the car buffed out by an outo body shop and that removed the spotting but caused the swirling. I washed the car to remove all of the wax and clear coat protectant applied by the body shop. Liquid glass prep works the best IMO. I then applied Liquid Wax in back and forth motions by hand using even pressure. When it dried to a haze I removed it with a microfiber towel, again in a back and forth movement, Never in a circular motion. I let it bake in the sun for 4 hours and applied another coat without rubbing hard, just lightly coating the painted serface, let it haze and wiping it off. Then let it bake on in the sun again. This process removed virtually all of my swirl marks. Make sure when you wash the car, you remove all bugs and tar as Liquid Glass leaves a protective film over your paint and anything on it. I put a total of 4 coats on baking them in the sun four 4 hours between coats and my car's finish has much more depth than before and looks like a much more expensive paint job!
