Terrible buffing job

OK, here's my story, I had some surface scratches on the paint from neighborhood cats (partially my bad for always parking it outside). I brought it to a local body shop that I usually go to to have the scratches buffed out. They did a TERRIBLE buffing job. I now see several swirl marks on my hood and trunk. Do any of you know how I can get rid of those swirl marks? Is there a wax I should try? Or am I just stuck with it until I get new paint job?

Thanks,
Chris

Take it back. If the swirls were created with a rotary buffer, the ONLY thing that will take them out is to re-buff with the rotary. Those things can do some major damage.

I personally would never buff a black car.
