What are spider webs?
Spider webs are micro scratches that occur when the surface of the vehicle has not been correctly washed/cleaned/dried. Contrast this to swirl marks, which are typically caused by rotary buffers during the polishing phase of correction.
Improper washing and drying techniques are the reason for spider webs and this is why its important to understand what they are and how they can happen.
When magnified many times, dirt on the surface of your car are basically little rocks/stones. Washing your car is the removal of said “stones”.
