Swirls are created by anything dirt or fallout on the paint being rubbed across it (i.e. rag, automatic car wash, etc etc). Most new cars I've seen in dealers no matter the type has swirls as most all dealers use brushes to wash their cars quickly. There is a few methods to getting them out but more importantly, even after they are gotten out steps have to be taken to prevent from introducing more. Obviously you can hire someone, but if you want to do it yourself here's a few things you'd need:
Porter cable 7424xp
Claybar - brand doesn't matter
PH Neutral car wash
CCS orange/blue/red 5.5" pads
Meguiar's 101 - for correction
Once corrected you can use a finishing glaze or go straight to a topper:
I use Wolfgang finishing glaze
Then you can use a topper. This is usually where you hear people talking about ceramic coatings. I've had great luck with using sealants (usually last about a year):
I use the Wolfgang paint gloss sealant.
As an additional topper I use Beadmaker and apply every other wash.
There is tons of info out there on the methods needs to correct the paint. Depending on how bad it is, it could take 8 or so hours from start to finish. It is kinda like modding though... could take you into a deep dark hole once you start getting into it but the results are worth it.
