Default Cracks in clearcoat?

Anyone have small 3-4mm round cracks in their clearcoat? Is there any simple repair for these, or is repainting the only solution?

Default spider webbing / swirl marks?

If this is what your talking about

(looks like millions of tiny lines in your paint when sun is glaring on it)

Then you wanna use a Glaze to fix it, Zaino makes the best that I know of.
It can also be fixed by buffing, but I would let prof. do that.

Default No, not swirl marks.

They are small circles, about 2-3mm diameter, where there appears to be a crack in the clearcoat. I have a couple of these on my hood in different locations. They're nearly invisible when the car is clean, but when the car gets dirty, they become more visible.
