So I have tried just about everything on my car to get the little spider webbing lines out. I have tried all kinds of waxes. It seems no matter what I do to this car I can never get that WOW factor.

This is my first black car which I know black cars are an absolute pain. Am I just expecting too much? Is it just not possible to get this 13 year old paint to really pop in the sun anymore? It looks great on cloudy days

What do you guys recommend?

I use a mild polish to remove spider-webs in my black cars. I have had success with Zaino ZPC with a White pad. IF you need more power, then the next step up would be to go with ZPC with a firmer pad; and after that a more powerful polish such as Manzerna Intensive Polish.

I detailed my black car with Manzerna Intensive Polish with a yellow pad, then followed with the ZPC with a finishing pad. You could see your reflection in the paint (it was "candy apple black").

You say you "know how to use the commercial buffer", but easily removing spiderwebs is what a commercial buffer does... maybe try the random orbit instead...?
