Need Advice: 2014 Durango Black cobwebbing
The vehicle has 18,000 miles, black, and has spider webbing marks in the finish. I have only a WEN 10" RO and it uses bonnets. I have never done detailing before, just very thorough cleaning. It was washed, clay barred, and a coat of good wax last week at the dealer. I know it was done because I helped do it. They use high quality products, Meguiars, and others. Living in Iowa the winters can be tough on vehicles. Should I wait until spring clean up to polish and wax, or should I waste this wax job, polish and wax to get through the winter. What do I need to do to remove the cobwebbing, and get the wet shine? What products should I buy, and do I need to get a polisher or can it be done by hand??

Photos help to see what you issues you are having.
The WEN 10 is referred to as wax spreader. It doesn't have the power to correct like a DA polisher.
The decision is up to you if you wish to polish now or later. I would recommend a sealant over a wax given that you see some tough winters. Sealants offer more longevity and are more durable than a carnauba wax. You could wait until the wax wears off and reapply something that lasts longer.
You are asking about what products to purchase. The ultimate line (ult. compound, polish and wax) is a good start for someone. They are made to be user friendly and are available at most stores.
In regards to using products by hand, the answer is yes. Just don't expect 100% removal. One can only do so much by hand. It's tiring and a lot of work. I would recommend purchasing a DA and pads to give you better results and also to put less strain on your arms and hands.
The test spot with the least aggressive liquid is always recommended to let the paint tell you what it likes.
Here are some good videos.
Mike Phillips has some good videos on Autogeeks youtube channel on proper technique with a DA. -

Thank you for the replies. I tried to take photos of the cobwebbing, but the sky was overcast so I couldn't see them now. I did wash the car again a little bit ago, so tomorrow if the full sun is out I will be able to take photos of it. I have http://www.autogeek.net/best-black-car-wax.html and http://www.autogeek.net/wodeglco.html coming. I am guessing that I should remove the wax that is on there now then apply the protectant, then the wax. How should I apply each of them?? Machine would be best?? I appreciate your patience with this newbie.Comment

Sorry for the lousy photo. I'm having a tough time getting a decent shot. They are not very deep, the sun has to be right for me to see them, but they must go. Thanks for the help and suggestions.Comment
