Default Swirls all over my car?

So I got back from Sebring last night to find my car covered in SAP from the tree I park under. I decided to just take it and get it washed and waxed, it came out perfect. So today I get back from and look at my car in the sun and theirs a bunch of swirls it doesn't really look like the wax or polish or anything it looks like a very thin scratch, like if someone had got a light sandpaper and rubbed it all over my car. Does anyone know what I could use to remove it or cover or something?

Where did you take it for a wash and wax

You'd probably need to go with a compound and polish.. something like mequiars m105/m205.

Or a swirl remover of the sort.

If they are light swirls shouldnt take too long to get out. Do you have a orbital polisher?

^^ that. although id do a small spot first with just m205. if it works then only use that. try to use the least aggresive compound as possible

Thanks for your input guys, I'll give it a try tomorrow or when I get all my stuff together for my alarm, hardtop and stuff. If I leave it their for to long would it be harder to remove?

I might be buying it tomorrow from advanced auto parts for $10. I hope to God that these little scratches come off.
