To remove spiderwebs the paint must be polished. Usually a medium grade polish will get rid of most of them. If it's really bad you could go with a heavy polish or a light compound. If you have never done this before, hiring a detailer to do it for you might be a better solution than purchasing all the equipment and products to do it yourself. In essense you you will need to wash the car, decontaiminate the paint (clay) then do a 1 or 2 step polish and finally apply a last step product such as a wax, sealant or coating to protect the paint once the process has been completed. If you are a car enthousiast and want to learn how to do all that and purchase all the needed equipment and products, we can help you with it. If not, just hire a detailer and have him do it for you. Once the spiderwebs are gone, you will need to learn how to wash the car properly so you don`t put them back on the first time you wash the car. These spiderwebs are microscopic scratches that are made by washing the car incorrectly in most cases.

Welcome the forum!!! I agree with Calendyr.
Spider webs, swirl marks etc. are all scratches. Some scratches are very fine while others can be very deep. Since you have stated the spider webs are fine you can maybe remove them by using a light polish. Based on you introduction thread you have purchased Chemical guys v36, a black light, honey wet wax, and v7. I've never used chemical guys products before but I believe V36 is moderately aggressive polish (don't quote me on this). So you can use V36 to remove the scratches, then apply the wax, and then use the v7 as a detailer.
You have a lot to catch up on if you are interested in learning this art. I myself been reading and searching up and down this forum an hour everyday. IMO you have the best information just waiting to be discovered in this forum.
In my opinion you need to read the following article to get the basics down. Because if you wait for other members to give you answers (which you will get) you'll end up with more questions. I believe this is true because your question, although basic, it's just the top of the iceberg. You'll get an answer and you will reply "why is that? At least this is what goes through my head when I'm reading and researching a specific topic.
Since I've been reading this forum my questions and concerns have shifted from how do I get rid of spider webs, swirl marks etc. to how do I prevent them. Why you may ask? (See what I did there?
) because when you remove those "spider webs" your are literally removing some of your clear coat.
I don't want to leave you with a lot more questions than what you came in for. So here are some articles from Mike Phillips explaining the process. This the first article I read. BTW you can ignore the fact that the title says for your "brand new car". The process is the same for any car.
