    gots the spider webs, yes I was a retard (no offense to those mentally challenged) I used a foaming brush (yes I rinsed it first, but none-the-less). Any suggestions on how to remove the micro scratches? That doesn't involve color sanding.

    Use a dual action polisher like a Porter Cable with a good polish, followed by a glaze, then use your choice of wax.

    And this is why I say never use a brush on paint.

    Any paste polish will do, along with some elbow grease. I use it to eliminate 'sierra pin-stripping' after some densely forested offroad trips.

    Any polish that will work by hand is going to have strong abrasives in it. I would not recommend using any hand polishes strong enough to remove scratches, spider webbing, orange peeling, or any other paint issue other than a small, superficial scratch... over a large area of your vehicle. For those kinds of problems, a r/o buffer and the mildest polish that will repair the paint is the way to go. I normally do two passes, one with the mildest polish that works on it, second with a VERY mild polish to finish it off. Then cover with a wax or glaze.

    You guys should dry Duragloss 105 Total Performance Polish. Crazy shine. And the most durable product I've ever used. Almost feels like a coating when used with 601 bonding agent.
