Im looking for a good product that I can wipe on, and wipe off and will fill in small swirls in the clear coat, and make it look like the paint has been corrected. I know about paint correcting, compounding and polishing but thats not the route I want to go. I also know a filler glaze will be temporary and will have to be done several times a year.

Thanks for your help :)

I've tried many glazes and nothing I've found works to my satisfaction even temporarily.

Maybe I should quit inspecting the paint under good lighting.
 
Prima Banana Gloss can temporally fill some pretty deep swirl marks.
 
I like HD Speed’s cleaning, light polishing and possible filling ability when used by hand. I used microfiber applicators.

Any good carnauba wax or sealant should help hide swirls to some extent.

One product that I’ve heard good reviews about, but never tried is Poorboy’s black hole glaze.

This is my approach. I will only break out the detailing light when I Polish otherwise I will make myself crazy inspecting my daily driver after every wash.
 
I found Poorboys Black Hole to be excellent on dark cars, and I can only assume their White Diamond would work well on light colored vehicles.
 
Sometimes you can't polish with abrasives because the clear has gotten too thin or is starting to fail. Obviously a proper polishing will come out better.

Prima Amigo for an acrylic based glaze that you can apply just about any sealant of wax over that fills nicely. The Auto Finesse Ultra Glaze is a good oily type glaze that fills quite a lot, but then you are limiting yourself to topping with a wax or hybrid wax.

Prime Banana Gloss (as already mentioned) fills quite a bit as well as Opt spray Car Wax.

The Carpro Essence primer and the Essence Plus top coat will also do a fairly good job of filling too. I don't use it to fill swirling, but it does noticeably make the paint look smoother.
 
Prima Amigo does a great job "filling" imperfections, especially on dark paint.

But you will not have great or permanent results if you don't address the swirls.
Maybe think about stepping up to an AIO to get better, longer lasting results.
 
Klasse Sealant Glaze works well for minor swirls and has a layering effect. Works even better at at 1:3 ratio with water. I documented it with pictures on Autopia about 10 years ago. Takes about 3 layers before you start noticing results.
 
Add Collinite 476 and, although I’m not big fan of it overall, Meg’s NXT / M21 fills very well, even better in unison with D156... actually if I was trying to fill swirls as a main goal I would dig this combo out from my back shelf.
 
Anyone remember danese wetglaze? Poorboys black hole was good but essence plus is better and durable

I remember them well and they all didn't work..not on black paint anyway. Even Essence Plus did not do a very good job. I tried by hand by machine. Heavy, light, remove right away, let sit for a few hours. Tried layering, it helps a little, but I can still see the fine lines.

Check out CarPro Reload. Liquid spray sealant. Wipe on, wipe off application. Fills like crazy and super quick to apply.

I have to politely disagree with this. I’m sorry.....
However Carpro Hydro2 fills considerably and it’s easy application....!!!

Agreed. Forgot about Amigo on my original reply.

I used to love thay stuff.

It used to be called Zymol Auto Polish, and came in a fancy plastic packaging.

It still has that same delicious coconut/banana scent too...

I don't remember it really filling, but do remember it being very aggressive, and effective.

Even their HD Cleanse was pretty effective at actually removing some light scratches.
