Sounds like they used an agressive buffing pad (wool) or a cutting polishing foam pad and didn't follow up with a finer polish and pad. Many times they'll go aggressive and cover that up with a glaze. The glaze will slowly dissapear within a few washes which is why you started seeing the swirls. This can be corrected by someone who knows what they are doing. Dealerships (unless they hire a reputable outside detailer) want to rush through the detailing stage and unfortunately skip important steps that make all the difference. Hope you get your problem solved.

Zaino has great sealants but they aren't going to do jack **** to remove your swirl marks. Z2 contain fillers that will attempt to hide the swirls but won't remove them. You will need an abrasive polish and a DA/Rotary polisher to remove them. Zaino does wonders as far as protecting the paint surface for about 4-6 months yes....but that's about it. Their Z2/Z3/Z5 products are nothing more than sealants, and while they do look fantastic, they are not used for paint correction.

You can permanently remove swirls, oxidation, etc. not just temporarily hide them. I highly recommend you consider getting a Porter Cable (PC) as they are so easy to use, vastly improve your results while saving you time and energy. We have some affordable kits that give you the PC, backing plate, pads and polishes you would need here DI Packages Porter Cable 7424XP, Meguiar's Polishes and Hydro Pads Starter Kit or DI Packages PC 7424XP with M105, M205 and 5.5" pads. Both kits give you the M105 and M205 polishes with the PC that are going to help you really restore the paint to like new. Best of all the PC is easy to use and completely safe even for a first time user. Check out our detailing guide for step by step instructions and other helpful hints.

If you prefer to do a hand application I generally just recommend a one step process with a foam applicator and Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish M205.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.
