Len,
I'd be wary of doing this type of work myself. A bit of tcut on the off slight scuff maybe but not heavy swirl marks. You can end up doing more damage than good. So I'd try a bit of tcut and if it didn't make a massive difference very quickly, I'd stop and visit a pro 'detailer'.
A pro with the right kit is really the way to sort these marks. they can work miracles.

I use Tcut a little diluted, dangerous in unskilled hands, there are finer things on the market, but they finer they are the longer it takes

If you do chose to lightly Tcut do not go near the edges on panels

Halfords do a product called paint renovator, which is a milder form of T-cut, i have used this on my old E300 that i had and it was good .....worth a try .
