steel wool
Just picked up our new Milano red TSX the other night. Looked real good in the shade . Went out at night and under parking lot light it looks a though it was steel wooled. Lots of swirls and thin white scratches. You cant feel them in the paint.
My question is do I send it back to the dealer or try to fix them myself and if so how .
Thanks in advance!

Id evaluate the service the dealer could perform for you. Ask them how they will remove it, or see if they're willing to let you take it to a professional. Then ask questions about the process from either place.
Or:
Fork out about $225.00 on supplies and products, and you can then maintain the cars condition to your exacting standards.....forever.

Wow, you were rich enough to go for the dealer-installed swirls option? 
Usually dealers peel off the protective coating and just go around, cleaning off the residue. A good dealer would send the car out to a detailer to remove the coating and do a light cut to remove the swirls and apply sealant before delivering. I am guessing your dealer did the former.

And use whatever dirty shop rag they have laying around
When my wife and I were looking for a new car for her, we test drove a black CRV
that looked liked it was washed with sand paper. And the worse part is that I'm sure someone bought it no questions asked
