Just wanted to ask how I can remove the swirls from the indicated picture? Can I just use a regular paint scratch remover or does it require something else? Thanks!

 

becareful with the paint scratch removal. if you press too hard it can remove too much and actual dull the surface. Since I think these pillars are coated steel I would first try a high quality polish + a buffing wheel applied lightly. If you don't know what you are doing with the buffing wheel, take it to a detail shop. This cant cost that much to do just the pillar.
