    Angry Light Spider Webbing Even After 2 Hand Coats Of CG 5050...

    On a brand new motorcycle, I washed and clayed it last night.

    Then today two coats of Chemical Guys 50/50 paste wax applied by hand with two brand new foam applicators, I have light spider webbing in the paint...

    I even used two brand new CG microfiber towels to take the wax off.

    What did I not do or do wrong?

    Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

    Sorry the pic`s don`t show it better but the lines are there.

    Im old so Im sorry if its just me but I dont see any.

    In general clay, wash, and wax doesnt take care of paint scratches. For that you may need a light polish. Top tip - Something better than Chemical Guys like one of the great brands made and sold by Autopia...Blackfire, Pinnacle, Wolfgang.

    A good finishing polish should remove those spiderwebs quickly. Try Menzerma 3500 on a soft pad.

    I started to notice my CG towels leave marring, even the edgeless super soft red ones.
    They are all my dedicated tire/wheels or rags now.
    My vote for a swirl remover would be Rupes yellow Keramik Gloss or Rupes Quarz Gloss.
    Easy on/off no oily residue, good products.

    Oh I also noticed, when wiping off wax.
    If you get any kind of build -up on the towel and it starts to dry even alittle, that makes a small hard area on the towel,
    which then gets wiped across the paint, creating swirls.
    Good luck. ( gonna get some 50/50)

    I`m only using up the CG`s stuff I have left, I NEVER intend on using Chemical Guys stuff again as they are a s--- company with s--- products and atrocious customer service.

    Not to mention the products they make have a short shelf life, I only found out about the hard way.

    I would think Menzerna 3800\M205\Griots Pefecting Cream or any light polish would take care of it. Depending how soft or hard the paint is your pad may vary. Sometimes a harder pad finishes better on super soft paint. The only way to truly know is do a test spot and alter the products and process from there.

    I figured if I applied CG Jetseal that might fix it.

    Jet seal will only seal in the swirls, for both days it lasts.

    Did you wash them first? I had brand new towels muck up a finished job once....but just once.

    Oh yes...

    I`ve learned this the hard way, wash all stuff before going on to the next step.

    This is way I try to keep more than enough supplies on hand.

    Dispatch- Was it marring-free prior to your waxing? Even brand-new stuff is usually marred up by the time somebody buys it and fixing marring requires mechanical/abrasive correction.

    Eh, I honestly believe that many people mar their paint pretty much every time they do anything to it, like...washing/drying.

    Often people mar paint when they clay, so that also comes to mind.

    It might have been from the claying, I`m not sure.

    Its like you just can`t get away from it happening.

    Thats the trouble with waxing by hand, it will only come out so good...

    Dispatch- The wax will only shine/protect what`s there, won`t do anything for the marring.

    I`ve never had a motorcycle, so I`m clueless about whether they can be kept marring-free in the course of normal use
