<b>SWIRLS!</b>
Many people can't identify swirls so I've finally been able to gather some picture of the types of swirls.
Now, I did this for you guys! Look what I had to do to my truck! Swirled it up!
These are the swirl marks from a rotary buffer. They are called "swirlmarks" because there are actual swirls in the paint from the buffer. If you look at the swirls at the edge of the bedcover, then you can actually make out the round shape of them.
These are often called spiderweb or cobweb swirls. They are more of microscratching in the paint caused by rubbing dirt into the paint, improper washing, improper buffing, etc. The best way to see them is to have a light source shine into the paint and they'll orbit around it. I have found going to a parking lot and night is a great way to see them. The high overhead lights are bright enough to reflect them and not soo bright the blot them out.
I have arrows pointing to the marks in these pics. Hopefully you'll be able to find them

Now, can you find them in this picture? It is a real art to get rid of these SOBs.
<b>Clear Failure</b>
Here are some pics of the clear failing. There is a big list of what causes this to happen. It is mainly the painters fault (but can also be yours).
