I have a Black 2003 Dodge Neon has a whole bunch of swirl marks and small hair line scratches, probably from cleaning it at work before with the old brushes.
I want to buff my car to get all of that out of there, but I am not sure what the best product to use would be.
I would appreiciate all GOOD comments and opinions. Thank you!

ibfree2day12 - well you may eat dodge's every day, but your cobalt will be eating my exhaust from my neon, oh I guess I could say its a SRT 4 neon with about 270HP after mods.
To answer the question, I would get one of those clay bar jobs, I think mothers has a kit for it, about $17 in the store, its worth it. Then do a nice wax on the car after. It will take time, but you will be happy with the results in the end.

You need a high speed buffer, and a descent non-abbraisive wax. Swirls marks come from a few places, either sand in the wax, or the rags or pads used to apply or buff out. To be honest, like some of the other replies, take it to a detail shop. It may cost anywhere from 80 - 120 depending on how much in involved in the detailing.

The best product to use is another human, that way your arms don't get tired!
barring that, it all depends on your paint. If you have base-coat / clear coat, buffing can mess up the paint. depending on how deep the hair line scratches are, you'd probably need a power buffer to do it right, BUT being careful not to burn the paint. Fixing bad/damaged paint is not an easy job, as it depends on the type of paint you have, and the condition. Best to get some expert help in this area ( I'm no expert ). - The Gremlin Guy -

Use a very mild liquid buffing compound using a variable speed buffer. Use a foam pad. The clear coat is very thin.
You may want to skip the buffing and start with a polishing compound and then a machine glaze compound.
Your local automotive paint supply store will have these materials and pads that you need.
Go to the web site below to get information about these items.
