Swirls on shadow line black exterior door trim!

I've seen mentioned on a few places that people have issues with swirls on the black shadow line door surround. A quick searched turned up nothing, have any of you had any success in getting rid or reducing the look of the swirls? It looks awful when the sunlight catches it. Will a simple swirl remover polish or something help at all?

I got told to always wash it first...
I would think a hand polish with mildly abrasive pre wax cleanser such as DoDo Juice Lime Prime or DoDo Supernatural Microprime would help. Very very carefully though! Yep, I'm a dodo man...

I mean the thick bit of trim which runs vertically up every door, this isn't black paint is it? Looks like black plastic with lacquer over it or something. The same treatment may work though.
