Spider Webbing

jbrichmond · May 31, 2013

All,

My newly purchased SCAB (blue flame) is showing some spider webbing on the clearcoat when seen in direct sunlight. I know this is from improper washing at some point in its life, but my question to you guys is whether or not y'all have the same issues? It's not so much an issue, rather just a nuisance to my very particular eyes... And I mean... its a truck. Let me know y'all's thoughts and opinions if you don't mind! Thanks!

you could color sand it. but im not a detailer..... lets wait and see what the boss says.

Okay sounds good. I know it's not a huge deal because almost every car I've ever seen has this, I'm just a perfectionist

If swirls/scratches/spider webbing bother you, you're in good company here.

Can you post up some direct sunlight pictures of them?

Polishing with a machine should be all that's necessary to remove them completely.

Well NONE of mine have "spider webs".... Easy fix---you can fix it yourself (expensive because you have to buy equipment to do it right no matter what people tell you unless you are very experienced) or have it done by a good detailer. My vehicles are maintained by me.. Look like liquid glass.

Adam's has all of the chemicals you will need. I use a Makita 6040 if you have never done this before you really should watch and learn the first time then try it on your own imho..

Attached below are two pictures of the driver side rear fender... The truck is partially in my garage right now so just base what you can see in this picture for the whole truck. Thanks so much!

I was planning on getting it professionally done this summer by someone I know is a 30+ year veteran at detailing. I agree, and I will observe him before I try it on my own. I'm moving out to Phoenix in August and I want my truck looking nice and spiderweb free before I take it out west!

Problem is there isn't enough mud on it. She likes the mud baths, lol..

Moving to Phx in Aug? After 27 summers in Phoenix, and multiple summer moves there, have fun with that. Hit up the Salt River tubing when you are done.

Back on topic, I don't see the spider webbing in the image provided, only swirl marks.
