How to hide swirls prior to removing?

OK. I've learned my lesson about dealer-applied sealants. Got a bunch of info here, and have Klasse AIO, SG and FX 425 on the way, among other stuff. I have minor swirls on a black Audi, and I now want to know the best way to "cover" them or make them less prominent until I can come to terms with my ResistAll error, remove it and the swirls, and starting from scratch.

So for now, what's the best thing to apply over the ResistAll to help hide the swirls: the Klasse SG? P215s? something else?

I understand that removing them, either by PC or by hand, will result in removing the ResistAll since the swirls are likely underneath. I can't yet bring myself to remove something I paid $400 for (yes, I know it was a ripoff), especially since it looks pretty damn good and that I do have a "guarantee" against water marks, bird crap, acid rain, etc., etc. (no real exceptions, and no requirement to have it reapplied). I'm mainly interested in improving the look until I bite the bullet and am able to justify removing it (1 to 2 yrs seems reasonable to me, even though it has a 5-yr warranty).

maybe its worth stripping it off, giving it a good polish, then taking it in and having them reapply it under warranty? haha

I'm not sure what ResistAll is, but I'm sure within a 2 year time span it will remove itself.
