Yes, that makes sense. It is very easy to get fine spiderweb lines in the compound, polish and wax layers, sometimes. They usually fade with washing or when covered with spray wax over the following weeks, but other lines can also form easily, just in trying to detail the car. It's easy to clean/detail a car too much, hence we call these lines "love touches"

Re: swirl advice needed?

Aside from the childish trolling from others, I'm pretty sure my point, not to mention MicrofiberMan's, was fairly clearly about spiderwebs, not paint hardness. Maybe drumdan can explain in detail why paint hardness is relevant to the OP's questions, or maybe Guz can explain why he, or anyone, comments on threads about cars he's not seen and worked on in person.

"It is possible that your paint is on the soft side. Meaning that it will marr easier than harder paints during washing and even during correcting." - Guz

If you read my post, I mentioned a series of potential issues, which turned out to be #3.

"..maybe Guz can explain why he, or anyone comments on threads about cars he's not seen and worked on in person.."

The fact that some forum members often work on a wide variety of vehicles, with varying paint types gives them a wider view, and more insight to potential problems. That's all. Anyone can regurgitate technical data that has been posted previously.

Barry Theal has coined the term "internet detailer" for this reason.

ya i feel like this was absolutely the problem. i also think the paint is hard because of the chipping if thats a valid way to tell??? and also they way the m101 and microfiber pad reacted with the paint
