Wax to use to get rid of spider webs on paint?
Wax to use to get rid of spider webs on paint?
I have a Pearl Black Evo, and It has "spider webs" all throughout the paint is there a wax that I can use to buff it to make them less visible or none at all?
If anyone can help please provide me the name of it.
I am afraid to just use something on the shelf that could harm the paint.
Thanks.

The point of an orbital polisher is not to leave swirls. If you leave swirls with an orbital polisher, it is user error for not using the correct pad or polish. Could also be from not prepping the surface properly before polishing the paint.
I have been using a Porter Cable polisher for years now. Never once has it left some buffer swirls when using the correct method and polish. If you don't use a finishing polish, anything will leave marring. Even if you do it by hand in some cases.
So to answer your question, you really need to use atleast on orbital polisher to remove the swirls. I would stay away from a rotary polisher until you are really ready for it. Which in my case is never going to happen, I like the orbital.
Here are some examples of proper technique and an orbital polisher can achieve. These are my pics of my work on my old Cobra.

clean with mequirs wash, and a drop of dishwashing soap, clay bar, touch up chips with paint, and then clear nail polish, use meguirs step 1 cleaner, and then step 2 polish, then 2 coats of meguirs gold class, then 2 coats of insulator wax...
when using the step one and 2 you can only do a spot at a time.. DONT let the 2step stuff dry... but my above compunds work great... and cheap on the wallet too...
i do it all by hand.. i still get the rare swirl hear and there, but for what i use and the price, this is good for me... also i only wax the car once a year, and wash it once a month..

To remove them, you'll need an orbital polisher and polish as mentioned above. The brand probably isn't as big an issue as much as the process. I wash, clay bar, polish, seal and wax and have found this to work great.
You should check out www.autotopia.org for good information and instruction.
This is the correct procedure, Cleaner,polish,sealant, then wax...Although i dont use Mequirs, I use Klasse AIO cleaner(cleaner and polish), then Klasse sealant, then some S100...
but one thing i will say if you do all this buy hand, the end result is worth the 2 days of work...
03EVO..... That is some clean *** paint on your Cobra!! Black has always been the most difficult for me to polish and maintain......but you Cobra looks very well maintained! Nice work! I might have to come up to Sac for a few pointers!
