Swirl marks from Heck!!!

Ok heres the story. I hit a split rail fence at my moms with my rear door and part of the bed. I ended up with a pretty good dent and some scratches. My dads' friend owns a body shop so I let him fix it, they repainted the bed side and were able to buff out the door. It all looked great until I got to work this evening and in direct sunlight I saw tons of 3d swirl marks up and down the bed and door. The color is patriot blue and I know dark colors are prone to swirls. Is there anything that can be done to repair this. I hate to go back and complain because they only charged me 350.00. I guess you get what you pay for.
Thanks for any tips/advice
Jim

Easy, get an oscillating buffer, and some Blue Coral scratch remover. It'll clean it right up. Of course wax it after.

on my audi i am so worried about swirls and what not. But since my truck is black there for i have given up on my paint. I have been taking mine to the car wash and not washhing it my self because it would be such a pain in the butt to keep a black truck in perfect condition. Also my garage does not fit my truck in it so that is also another set back.
