Default Swirl marks on my 2000

Hey everyone, I recently took my vette to get buffed and it looked pretty dang good...until last night when I went out and looked at the car under the parking lot lights. There were swirl marks everywhere on the car. Is there anyway to get the swirl marks out? what type of buffer and compound should I use to try to get the swirls out?

Thanks everyone!

I'm going to move this to the Car Care Discussion section. Lots of very knowledgeable people over there that should be able to help you out.

I had very good results using Chadwick's Triple Play with their paint correction kit. Super easy, from beginning to end, following each step as instructed, it took me a total of about 5 hours. Traditional methods would have easily taken me 2-3 times that!

I have the Flex 3401vrg with some of the Adam products. Worked well on removing fine scratches from my black GS.
