Spiders & Webs

**djintegr8** · 12-29-2005, 05:30 AM

I picked up a spider (a big fat huntsman) in the country and couldn`t get it off before it ran into the bumper. 1000kms and 2 washes later, the webs keep coming back. I know its still there, because I saw it run across my bonnet the other day.

What are your techniques for removing spiderwebs and their respective spiders?

Thanks

If you can`t keep it alive by spraying with a water jet then the only other option I have is a surface spray. :nixweiss

BTW, where do you live?

Yeah I`ve tried spraying/sheeting water into all crevices but its still there.

I`m in Melbourne also, I should update my info.

I thought you might be in Australia when you mentioned "huntsman". I believe its native to our land. :lol

Where in Melbourne are you? I live in Camberwell and our detailing factory is in Carrum Downs.

Heh yeah, at least its not aggressive like a red-back :nervous: And would surface spray affect the paint in any way?

I`m also in the eastern suburbs, Doncaster. Thats a fair way to travel to work down in Carrum. I just picked up a Hitachi RAO for Christmas, so I`m getting into this detailing big time now

I now notice myself looking at other cars and seeing bad paint work.

Like this poor Liberty GT STi

Swirls and wax smears all over

Surface spray should have no effect on paint; but the solvents will remove your LSP.

If you haven`t be told yet: :welcome to Autopia

And yes, you look at every car with a critical eye. :doh

BTW, should you be in bed? :chuckle:

:chuckle: No uni, so my sleep patterns are off... But I plan to wake up early and head to the beach... 37 and 38 degrees next two days!

Yeah, its going to be hot! I`m thinking of going to to the cricket at the MCG...it`s free entry on the last day, and would like to see Australia bury South Africa.

I would normally go to the beach in this weather but I`m originally from Perth, so the beaches here scare me.

If you ever need any help with your car, PM me and I`ll be glad to help. :up
