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... :angry:

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? http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps13714d1a.gif

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.

Are you sure it`ll work? :dunno:

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... http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...icon_shrug.gif

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 http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...icon_shrug.gif
