Getting rid of swirlmarks and scratches on paintwork

As the title suggests, I am looking for ways to get rid of the fine swirlmarks and scratches on my NA8
Do I need to get one of those orbital buffers to get the job done properly?
Which polishing products should I use as well? Meguiar's? AutoGlym?

Is it worth doing it at home on your own? Or should I get a professional detailer to do it?

Thanks for the advice, Steve
I was looking into doing the detailing myself to save some money
But it looks like that it might be quite pricey initially to get the good detailing products

To fellow Sydneysiders, any recommendations for good detailers?
And how much should I be looking at for it? A price range would be good

Scratch X and a random orbital sander with a clutch (GMC) and some 6in buffer pads. Less than $100 and it will come up a gem. If they are lots of fine marks, start with a clay bar and final inspection, then scratch x, then polish and wax. It will take a saturday afternoon in the shade and make that afternoon ale taste so much better. 8)
