If I am following you correctly, I kind of get that after a while when I dont wax the thing. Is the truck black, just wax it. I used that Meguiars NXT wax and it is bad ***!!

Sounds like spider webbing. Clay Bar, polish and wax should get rid of it. For the most part it is normal though.

I know it can be done....it is just a pain in the ***. I have spent and easy 10 hours waxing my truck and it is almost gone.
