You'll be better off removing them once and for all. They will reappear after few washes...*EDITED FOR IZMIR...if you just cover them*.
But to answer your question-pretty much any polish off your parts chain store shelf will hide them.

that makes no sense. you can't remove them once and for all since they come back after a few washes.
just hide them with zaino. and protect with a good wax.

Zaino Z5 has fillers, but I don't think that'll do you any good. Z-PC is supposed to remove it, but I've never tried it.

Do you have a machine or you doing this by hand?

Zaino is a very good polymer sealant and protects very well. It will enhance anything you do to the paint. That said, any defects in the paint will get enhanced by Zaino. Any swirls will look even worse than what you started with.

My recommendation is with obender66 and remove it before using Zaino. Otherwise, don't waste your money on Zaino.

Zaino products do have fillers to hid some swirls but it will not remove them, meaning after 2-3 washes the swirls WILL reappear. Your best bet is to hire a professional detailer to remove them with a buffer. If anyone ine SoCal needs this to be done. I own my own mobile detailing business. Here is a link you can check out if interested.

Fillers help, but from my experience, I've never found a product that really does an exceptional job hiding deeper swirls. Things like light swirling from a mediocre microfiber towel, or a lightly contaminated wash mitt can be hidden but deeper swirls don't stand a chance in the proper lighting.

If you want to just use products by hand Autoglym Super Resin Polish is a great product. Ive had great results with it.
