Well depending on how severe your swirls are, go get yourself a PC and some various pads going with a small spot using the least aggressive pad and cutting polish you can find and go up from there.

Use a glaze or sealant to cover the ones you can't get out and follow with a really good polish and wax. Keep her clean and proper washing techniques will help prevent more scratches.

I have got some fine soft pads made by 3m, they are finishing pads to use with fine glaze on my rotary I may try them... my concern is heat generation as the jet black paint seems to be very soft and I dont want to ruin the clear coat.

+1 for Zaino ZPC.

I back into my garbage can the morning of trash day and apparently my garbage man was pissed that day so he flung it in the middle of my driveway causing it lay on its side. Me in a hurry just hopped in the car, and started to reverse,....then a smash..i hit the trash can leaving multiple scratches on the back bumper.

Tip is to work the product at the spot for like 2-3 mins straight. Then wipe off. Hit it again for another few minutes. Wipe off. Slap on Z-AIO or Z2. Looks good as new.
