Those look like buffer trails to me. They are typical of someone inexperienced machine polishing the car. It probably happened at the dealership when they prepped it for delivery to you.
I'd talk to them about it and see if they will reimburse you for some of the expense to have the car detailed correctly.

STOP do not make any paint correction (painting) this not necessary and you have a risk / color mismatch vs different lights and so on...
+1 regarding wrong preparation at the dealer with a polisher.
Nevertheless this is really easy to correct, don't worry. If you don't feel confortable to correct it ask to your dealer to correct or pay for correction at a detailer. But a nice detailer should do it for nothing this is not more than 15' job with a rotary machine / medium pad (like Meguiars yellow) and polish like a 2500 menzerna.
For example / comparable to your case :
My BWM hood after BMW shop preparation (for 6 years services)
And after 15' job to correct it with medium pad and 2500 Menzerna.
I had the same issue on my 991 at Porsche dealer and now I put all the time instructions on the dashboard "Do not wash or dry the car"
Good luck but really don't worry....
