Well ideally you would need some polish and a polishing wheel/buffer if they were really bad swirl marks.....like you would use on a car's finish.

If they are light swirl marks/fine scratches....try some Meguiar's NXT Liquid Wax...it's about $15 for a bottle. It leaves the finish with a REAL deep, glossy shine & also fills in those fine scratches/swirl marks.

If your paint is in real bad shape, it won't do the job and you'd need to "wheel"/polish them out.

But if it's in okay shape & you just wanna make it look a little bit better....try the NXT wax!!

I just used Meguires cleaner wax on my tank sides the other day before I put on the clear vinyl paint protectors. It worked great for light swirl marks and scratches.
