Default Best glaze/wax/sealant that HIDES imperfections?

Here is the deal... Old car obviously has old paint that is getting thin. Im getting scared to polish this thing as my clear is getting thin, not yet cracked or peeling but deff. getting thin. My car has horrible tree sap and fallout all over it and my "gentle" clay now wont begin to touch the stuff so Im going to get some more aggressive clay. After claying I was going to use a very gentle polish on it with a pad that has no cut at all. I am aware that I wont have a swirl free, RID free excellent paint job on my 21 yr old crx. I am fine with this under one condition, that there is a product I can use that will fill and hide some of the swirls and scratches better than my p21s or cheapo mequiars NXT does right now.

Whether it is a glaze, sealant, carnuba, synthetic, paste wax watever I dont care. It just has to have some abilities to hide some junk fairly decent. Doesnt matter how long it lasts as long as it will be there for about 3 weeks, I can handle reapplying this frequent.

Is there something I can layer over this product that will enhance shine or depth, or does the product itself give a good end result?

Thanks for any ideas you guys might have. I am fine ordering from autogeek or buying in store like advance auto or auto zone. those are the only choices in my area.

more than likely you will want to use a glaze. it will fill in the imperfections the best that anything could. what color is the vehicle? there are glazes out there specific to the color of the paint.

i use black hole on every car i do. stuff is the ****. It really adds depth and shine. Put it on by hand. Let it set for 30mins, wipe off. Than apply either a carnauba or synthetic sealant. I use PB's EX-P than Natty Blue on top of that. Talk about a shine
