Default Can Paint Swirls Be Repaired?

Hello All, apparently the previous owner of my 06 4.0L V6 Mustang got a little crazy with the high speed buffer at some point and left me with an unfair amount of swirl marks in the paint.

In looking at it a bit closer, it seems like the swirl marks are in the clear coat, but it does not appear that the paint has been scratched, or burned off on any of the corners. You don't really notice the swirls until the lighting hits just right, or you catch a glimpse of the car from just the right angle.

So I was wondering if this is something that can be fixed without re-painting the car?

Any tips would be appreciated!

Junkman knows his sh*t. Great videos to get the basic info on detailing.

Yeah, ole Junkman seems to know his stuff. I watched all (5) parts, and it was really informative. He didn't "fake the funk", and the results were unbelievable. I think it is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks again for the link!!
