Default Best Way to Remove Swirl Marks?

I am the proud owner of a beautiful black '05 roadster. A few months back I got door dinged on the driver's quarter panel. I happened to be showing the light, but noticeable damage to my father one day and being the meat-and-potatoes macho man he is, he said "Bring it on over here and let me show you how to get those scratches out!" So what can I say, "No, sorry Dad, I'm going to have a 'professional' do it," and end up hurting his feelings...so when the weather was nice, I went over and let him remove the scratches. Now I have a beautiful shiny quarter panel with NO scratches, but nice even vertical swirl marks. Of course. I haven't said a word to him about it. My question is: how can I remove these swirl marks so it looks just as nice and shiny as it does now, minus the swirls? Do I need any special tool? He used his old school buffer from 1977. I have a steering wheel electric waxier at my disposal, but I don't think that I will be able to apply the appropriate pressure necessary with that tool. Any advice will help. I want to get this car ready for the nice spring, top-down weather. Thanks in advance for everyone's advice!!
