200ft of Cornfield Swirled My Quarter - HELP

Whole passenger side of the car is swirled from a trip through a cornfield. So I need recommendations on how to repair the body without new paint. I'll get pictures soon but it's easy to picture in your head. Just light swirling all over the passenger side.

Re: 200ft of Cornfield Swirled My Quarter - HELP

A "swirl" is generally meant to describe a rotary pattern from a buffer, hand polishing, or something similar. What you appear to describe are fine scratches.

I've had very good results with using Zaino Z5 for fine scratch removal (actually hiding them, not abrasively wearing away the paint). in particular a spot on the hood where a large, heavy box blew out of a neighbors trash pile in a storm, and bounced of my hood. I tried several abrasive products specifically for swirl/fine scratch removal, and they wouldn't remove it. Z5 contains no abrasives, and isn't going to destroy the clear coat.
