swirls and scratches...

how do you guys get rid of swirls and scratches in your paint. my clk has 160k on it and is BLACK, which is IMO, the worst color to get on a car. when its new, its awesome. but old, and i hate black. anyway, is there any possible way to diminish or reduce visibility of these marks? i own 2 buffers...just no good products.

its a 98' with 160k paid 5000 for it...definetly not worth repaiting right?
