Getting rid of shallow and mild scratches and scuffs isn't really that hard if one knows how to use a high speed buffer. But the key words here are "Knows how". You can do a lot of damage if you're not careful so you're best leaving it to a pro as you did if you have no experience with a buffer.

After years for fighting swirl marks I just bought a Chicago Pneumatic 6 " orbital polisher and several different foam pads

I figured I would practice on my BLACK expedition , Using Maguire's fine swirl remover which is rated a #4 cut I started on the front fender , WOW ... it was so easy I did the rest of the truck and then finished it off with Maguire's Carnauba Wax ...

Cant wait to do the rest of my fleet
