cobwebbing term

Do people prefer to use the term swirls instead of the word cobwebbing? It seems to me the term "swirl" is the choice of words.
 
I use "swirls" and "spider webbing" as two different terms. Swirls are what a rotary buffer leaves behind. Spider webbing is what appears naturally through washing and drying.

Yup.. I was thinking about that the other day and how I use that term in thr wrong way.. :think:
 
I think of cobwebbing as what happens after a painted plastic bumper is hit

the paint is cracked in a cobwebb pattern
 
A rotary buffer doesn't leave swirls, it leaves holograms. I think of swirls as being very uniform and noticable, like something out of a swirl-o-matic wash. I think of marring as something that happens during the washing process(not an automatic wash, though), and I think of cobwebbing as something that happens during the drying process(again, not from an auto wash).
