As long as you can't feel the scratches when you rub your fingernail across them they will come out. They will have to be polished with an abrassive polish to level the paint. If the scratches and swirls aren't into the paint you can make the car look new again.
You are probably talking around $200-$250 to get them removed. Just make sure whoever you have do the buffing is reputable. I've seen a lot of people take there car to someone that didn't know what they were doing and burned their paint up.
Another option would be getting an orbital polisher like the Porter Cable and doing it yourself. It will save you some money and the PC is really worth the investment. Since it is an orbital you don't have to worry about burning up your paint. You can take the paint to a whole new level even as a beginner. PM me if you have any questions about the Porter Cable.

An orbital actually spins in an oval type motion. A circular polisher spins in a circular motion generating a lot of heat and in the wrong hands will burn the paint.
It is almost impossible to burn up your paint with an orbital polisher. You can be a beginner and get awesome results. With the Porter Cable you will need a backing plate to accomodate the different levels of pads. I have a Porter Cable kit that has everything needed to get started. I also have kits that have the polishes with them too.
Check out this website. It has a lot of info about the Porter Cable and also has videos on how to use it.
