Quick Clear for the pits.

I'm sanding the clear on my car and as I go over the surface with 1200 I mark all the dirt craters etc. with a Sharpie. Most come out almost immediately but I have maybe five pits that are be deep enough that I don't really want to just sand them out. I probably have enough but...... Four coats of UV, then sanded, then four more coats of UV. It's been a month+ in and out of the sun since I painted it. I read somewhere that a detail guy used some really fast clear with a small brush or toothpick to fill in pits and dirt craters. He said it's really fast clear and was ready to sand in five minutes. Is there a way to mix a tiny bit of UV (that's all I have) to go off fast? I know I could fill them and wait but I'm curious.
 
Yes with polar but why do you need it fast? I mix normal dab with a sword brush and come a back an hour later and do again and maybe a 3rd time.
Next day 1500 wet and had buff.

That's exactly what I'm trying to improve on. Your process took three hours to fill a pit and then a day to harden, so the whole project is on hold for a day for a pit. Granted, I do have the time and material to do it that way but wouldn't it be nice to be able to do something in the painting process that was not in 1 day increments?
Ideally, I would like to fill a pit, go sand on something else and then come back in a few and finish the pit.
Just thought I'd ask.......
Thanks,
