- _Spider Webbing and swirls_ can be ‘masked’ by a heavy glaze. However, this will only last for a rainshower or two. So, say you want to go to a meet, this will mask and reduce the appearance of these defects.

- _Paint transfer_ can generally be taken out with a claybar. If the claybar won’t do it, then machine polishing can get rid of them. There aren’t really any products that will mask those.

\>\> There are a few other ways to solve the clearcoat bubbling, and heavy paint transfer by yourself, but you’ll need a machine-polish to remove any hazing that will be a by-product of wetsanding.

Let me know if you have anymore questions!
