Removing Swirl Marks/Blemishes
I have a black 2007 A3 that I bought used a couple of months ago. It drives great, but unfortunately it seems like the previous owner never really put any effort into caring for the paint. As a result there are swirl marks and blemishes on several parts of the car (mostly on the hood and roof). What would be the most effective way to restore the paint short of taking the car to a body shop? I have a porter cable buffer if its needed.

By blemishes, I assume you mean visible scratches in the paint. Since all of the Audi's have a manufacturer paint code, I would suggest hunting that down and getting a touch up marker or touch up paint. If you do, be sure to wash really good before applying it. There isn't much of a home remedy for small dings and dents unless you feel like taking all the body paneling off of your brand new A3 and whacking it with a mallet.
