Are Minor spiderswerbs visible under bright light inevitable?

I now have managed to get the gloss and depth I'm looking for, and in all conditions apart from bright direct lighting the finish looks flawless.



Are minor spiderwebs inevitable, or should I be doing something different to get a glass like finish.



I've gone down to SSR1, glazed with CG EZ creme glaze, sealed with PB EX-P and then topped it with Natty's blue.



again, really appreciate the superb advice that you all have offered. Great community here.
 
What kind of car do you have, and has it been repainted? There are some cc's that are very very soft- so soft that the mf you use to remove the polish will marr it. On most paints, it's not inevitable, but you might have to try a bit harder. What pads did you use to do the work? Pad selection can make a huge difference.
 
Yeah, it depends on a lot of things: paint hardness/softness, the paint's thickness (can you keep correcting it or should you quit taking off more), your pads, buffing towels and products. Even your work environment (dust, etc.) can factor in.



I, and many others who are far more skilled than I am, *have* achieved a perfect finish but that doesn't mean that everyone can on every vehicle. It's theoretically possible but it's not realistic to assume that everyone will have every product combination or even the ability (not intended as a slam by any means).



But generally, if you have enough paint to work with you should be able to get rid of "spiderweb" marring. Just gotta find that pad/product/technique combo that's called for.
 
I have a BMW in Sapphire pearl Black



The thing is I don't know how much clear I do have to play with.. Its factory finish - 2005 car.
 
You probably have plenty of clear. CC thickness isn't really an issue unless it's an older car or you can start to see spots of cc failure. With a PC, I wouldn't be worried at all about cc thickness, especially on a 2005. Minor polishing to take out light marring isn't going to take off enough cc for any concern.
 
Noting that we're just guessing without having used an ETG, with an '05 BMW you oughta be fine (assuming it wasn't extensively polished before, you just never know).



I'd go for it. The light stuff you're talking about shouldn't be all that deep. Just think twice about completely correcting any Random Isolated Deep Scratches (RIDS).
