Bare amount of swirls
Discussion
Uh oh, PH spelling police!!!
Bare is actually the correct spelling. It means a small amount of scratching in this context, although there is probably a better way to communicate it.
Anyway, you can get rid of them with a Dual Action machine like a Porter Cable or Meguiars G220 (similar but made for the mass market and therefore a tad less robust). These are random orbital polishers. Or you can go for a rotary polisher, like most of the pros use. These cost from 30 GBP upwards, with the Silverline or Kestrel being cheap beginners' machines.
You'll need a backing plate, pad and compound as well. What type depends on your paint type as it is like recommending sandpaper for sanding a chair - 'it depends'. You don't want too much cut with minor swirls, so maybe try a finishing pad with a mild compound like Menzerna 106FA Final Finish in the first instance. A polishing pad with Menzerna 3.02 Intensive Polish would give more cut - but maybe too much - and respraying paintwork is expensive if you burn through.
