Spyder web lines on Truck
Anyone know how to get these little spider web looking lines off my truck. Its black and looks fine when there a overcast but when the sun is directly on it they show. Any suggestions...

Unfortunately to get it done right you will have to pay to get it cut polished. Or you can wax your truck with a product like autoglym ultra deep shine or poor boys black hole glaze that fills swirls. But the effect is temporary. Cut polish is your only solution.
Black is very hard to maintain. You have to make sure when you wash your truck you always use a very soft wash mitt like sheepskin or microfiber and it is %100 clean. Do not use old wash mitts and stay away from brushes. Your swirls are most likely caused when you wash your truck.

The clear coat on these vehicles is thin and thinner, be very careful with a rotary polisher.
Groit's has a pretty good system for this.
I use it on my Tuxeudo FX2, it's a safe DIYer.
Great results

Yes as most above said, machine polish will rid you of them. Never use those foaming brushes at DIY car washes...people do their wheels and stuff with them...so the will have schmeg that will scratch your paint, especially black.
I just buffed, and waxed my truck. And after about a month, tat "spider" look came back. Its from wiping, or washing. You'll mostly see it on solid colors or darker colors. Solid black is the worst.
That griots system will work. But don't be afraid to buff with a rotary polisher, as ong as you know how to use one. The clear on these trucks isn't as thin as everyone seems to think. I personally have never burned through factory paint. Only paint I have recently refinished.

I hope the paint job looks good.
I agree with with you on high speed polishers. In the hands of an experianced polisher they do an excellent job, put them in the hands of a novice, and thats a recipe for disaster.
I suggested the Groits because i got the feeling he MAY be new to machine polishing. Ya gotta work pretty hard with the DA set up to screw it up
I respect you're opinion on the clear coat, but my personal experiance tells me differently. I saw other work this body shop did and it was first class,I dont't know what happened to me, but thats usually how my luck goes.

And I hear you, you can burn thru it...but you have to be pretty inexperianced with a buffer. When my paint shop gets slow, we take on complete details. Meaning complete cut and buff. I personally have only burned paint that I have recently painted, within 24 hours.
Plus the body shop you went to jinxed themselves!! Haha! You never say,"oh that never happens!!" Especialy in front of a customer!! That happens all the time to me...I learned to say nothing until the car is done. Just last week,"oh yeah I can get that scratch out" famous last words
