if the paint is cracked....NOTHING will fix it though....for some reason, people think ZAINO is the last word in polish.....MEGUIERS is just as good, and reasonably priced......

Spider webs are defects in the paint usually on plastic bumpers and fenders when the paint, or clearcoat cracks in lil lines because of flex.
