Okay well when I was looking for a headlight restoration kit at walmart an employee suggested I use this Turtle Wax buffer (don't remember name currently) instead of a kit. He also said taht I could use it to get dirt and what not off of the car. It didn't work on the headlights, and when I used it on the hood I made swivel motions. Now it has left its mark and you can see circular marks on the hood even after I wash the car spick and span.

It has been like this for 6 months, is there anything I can do to "fix" that spot?

That stuff is abrasive man. PM scottwax, he's a professional detailer and might be able to help you.

It'll probably have to be clay bar'd, lightly wetsanded with a high grit and buffed like hell (not by hand) with polish and wax.

Wet sand the area lightly with 2000 grit sandpaper, get yourself a wool and a foam buffing pad and a real buffer (not the random orbital things...those won't do diddly on a swirled surface...), some light cutting polish, and some finishing polish. And get some of the expensive cutting/finishing polish, too. Meguiar's and Mother's won't do your finish justice compared to 3M, and other professional products.

That (should) take all the swirls out. If you know how to use the buffer.

Also, if you buff that one spot, be prepared to do most of, if not all of the car. If you get one spot on the finish that's super-slick and shiny, it may make the rest of the finish look kinda dull.

you could try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and a terry cloth by hand, see if it takes it off, it certainly won't look any worse.

Without seeing the car it is hard to say exactly what you should do. Unless you are willing to invest in a real buffer like a Meguiars G110 or a Porter Cable 7424XP and some foam cutting and polishing pads along with professional level polishes like Optimum or Meguiars #105/205 you are better off finding a good detailer in your area-good does not mean the cheapest, btw.
