"Hiding" swirls?

Hey gang,

My wife and I were looking at a car this weekend for her. A nice G35-S. Anyway, it had just come in and was in the back still. We liked the car enough, but the body was heavily swirled, and also had a few scratches.

The salesman acted like this was no big deal and said they'd fix it all up. But I really wonder about that. I see you pros spending 12 hours on details and I doubt they aren't gonna do that. So, if he calls and says it's all better, do I trust him, or are they able to use some glaze or filler wax to hide the swirls until it's too late?

Of course, aside from the scratches, I probably wouldn't mind the swirls since I feel like I've learned enough here to fix it up. Good excuse to buy a Flex, finally! But I'd want to use it in my negotiations, so if they "fix it" I might not get as much flexibility.
