Do not let the dealer touch the car, ever. They do not have the proper tools or knowledge to do a proper detail. To remove swirls you need a polisher and assorted polishes and pads. It takes about 6 hours of tedious polishing. It will cost you quite a bit though. I took my car home with the plastic still on it.

Go to a friends house or use a touchless car wash. Remember always use 2 buckets, grit guards, soft and clean mitts, and waffle weave microfiber towels. If not your going to put the swirl marks right back.

Heres some cars that Ive detailed.

Do not take it to a wash and wax guy you found on a flyer. They will promise you swirl removal but will just use a glaze and sealant that will fill in the swirls and make it look ok for about a week. Take it to a PRO. Look at his work before you hire him. It will cost you anywhere from $100-$300 for a full paint correction detail.
