That doesn't look too bad. Take it to a body shop to get it wet-sanded.

Actually, any detailer can get that off. A porter cable machine and some Meguiars M80 should be able to fix that. Good luck!

Forget trying to fix that, go get a couple coats of clear and you'll be good to go for a much longer period of time.

I would first see if it does buff out. If not, do as isuxel stated. Any auto body shop should be able to shoot a couple coats of clear on it for you!
