Here's the key, if you want to get rid of them, and are NOT experienced in using an orbital buffer, take it to a professional. They can buff the scratches out and make it look new.
Remember, those scratches are abrasions in the clear coat. Sure, you can "hide" them with polish and waxes, but they will reappear once the compounds age.
The only way to truly remove them is to have a professional use a cutting compound (rubbing compound) and remove a thin layer of the clear coat. Again, it's not something to try if you are a novice.

On dark colored cars when applying wax do not make circles. Rub it as the air would flow over the truck. It makes the swirl marks much less noticeable.
Also especially on dark colors take your time with the polish. About the time you think you've polished enough, do more.
