Civil Engineering Technologist, my current position is coordinator of construction services for a land development company.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

My truck is in need of some serious detailing. I've tried my hardest to avoid swirl marks in my paint - but they are there anyway.

Is there any way to get rid of them, and how to I prevent them? I HATE swirl marks.

The vast majority of paint imperfections are caused by poor washing/drying habits. Examples would be using a sponge or anything cotton to wash your car, drying it with a cotton towel. I've got some pretty good info on my website if you want to take a read. http://www.prestigeautodetail.ca/faqs.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As for removing the swirl marks, it's no problem at all. As long as they aren't past the clear coat, they can definitely be removed. :)
