Swirl marks on interior birds eye maple

I noticed some very feint swirl marks on the wood -- perhaps on the clear coat. What should I do to get rid of them.

I have used Plexus plastic polish applies with a soft micro fiber cloth. It will take patience but they will come out.

make sure to use straight back and forth motions and to not push too hard.

Thanks all.

MacGuire's recommends using a paint cleaner

I got Plexus and will use it in a couple of days.
