Default Hide Spider Cracks

I have a couple small spider cracks in the paint of my 69. Is there something I can do to help blend them in or cover them up? I am not a detail guru and just wash the car with two buckets and wax it with Meguiars. Not fancy but it shines just a little.

Are you talking about swirls or is the paint old, dry and starting to crack?

a glaze would help hide swirls temporarily, but cracked paint is a different story and usually needs professional refinishing. I do know of a friend that was quite creative with a Sharpie however.
