Haven't tried the others but I use System 51 on the bike, volvo, pickup and the wife's car. Suede green/black, silver, white and silver respectively.
Easiest thing to use I have found and you don't have to worry about burning the paint.
FYI the swirls are in clear coat not the paint itself unless you rubbed off the clear.

Stop! All these products that have been recommended are great. They all will remove the swirls, but its not the product thats causing or removing the swirl marks, its what you apply and remove the product with. If your applying any of the above mentioned products, you need to think of how your applying it and MOST IMPORTANTLY, of how you remove it. That is where the swirls come from.
Right next to the wall of wax's and polishes will be the stuff to put it on and take it off. The soft round sponges are fantastic for applying and soft cotton terry towels are what you want to remove it with. Though people do use household towels to remove wax, often the many many cycles threw a dryer burns the material ever so slightly and damages terry towels. That burning of the fabric will cause scratches. Buy a 6-pack of dedicated terry towels, use them just on your bike, always wash them and never run them threw the dryer heat cycle. Either the air only cycle or let them just dry naturally.
The morale of the story is: Don't spend a pile of cash and time waxing and polishing your bike just to reapply the scratches because you use the wrong applicators and old worn out towels.
