They have a touch that can buff out scratches, water marks and swirls. The new waxes, polishes and compounds can bring out the best in old paint if there is anything left to work with. Most likely they will start with a good wash, then clay bar the paint, buff out and polish. They most likely will keep the car a day or two.
Dings and dents can be worked out by a company called Dent Pro or something similar like Dent Wizard etc.. These trained experts work for dealerships traveling around removing dents and dings in body work with out dismantling the car. Their arsenal of tools is amazing and where they can get into a car with them to remove dents/dings.
There are also companies that go to dealerships and just work repainting bumpers and small spots on cars, for a nominal fee without having to paint a whole car.
You will be amazed at how beautiful the car will look.
