Swirls on Car

What is a good way to remove swirls on the paint job? Just got the car, and it has that, not sure if from dealership detail.

Depends on how bad the swirls are you can try to take it out with some polish and da polisher. If you're scared to do so pay for a pay restoration 👍🏻

Take it to a professional detailer. The swirl marks a cause by a cheap buffer pad, that had cheap wax that got too hard. You won't find anything at any auto part store that will completely remove the swirls. They may help but you'll do more harm if you don't know what your doing.
