I went into full rescue mode this weekend on the hood. I spent several hours buffing out the swirls and scrathces using three different compounds ... and it came out OK. It's still not perfect - some visible scratches remain that are too tough to polish out with a random orbital. Maybe it's time to ask Santa for a rotary!
