Well the wax has oils and that would hide the swirls for a little while. In some cases, they will re-surface after your first wash. It's a very very short fix. Blitz wax does a good job of hiding swirls with just one layer, I washed my car once and quit a few of them came back to let me know they were still there hanging out.
