Removing swirls is a precise process and pretty much mandates the use of an orbital buffer. Without knowing it's proper usage, you could hurt the finish rather than help it. I would suggest getting it detailed by a professional. Ask SPECIFICALLY for swirl removal.
Covering or filling-in swirls, on the other hand, is a simple process and does not require a buffer. I could recommend products for that, but it seems you want them permanently removed from the paint, so heed the above advice.

If you're doing it to get rid of the car, then find a good detailer to do it. The supplies (PC polisher, pads, SMR) would cost as much as getting somebody to do it.
If you're inclined to DIY - you should be able to find most of the stuff locally. You can get the PC 7336SP from Lowes for $109. 3M Swirl Mark Remover will run you under $20. Good polishing pads might be difficult to find locally - it just depends where you live. I order mine from www.topoftheline.com
Good instructions on how to do it:

Hell, if you lived near me, we could probably have worked out something.
