clean my vectra once a week normally. nothing fancy just wash it. every morning i have to remove cobwebs from each wing mirror, and from the bootlid number plate recess bit. its doing my head in. how can i stop this from happening? ive pressure washed like fuck to try and drown the buggers that are making them cobwebs and tbh, fail.

car was shiney as a mofo this morning, yet had cobwebs on it. annoying.

thanks.

Black car? If so, mine is the same, really pisses me off, especially after I have just washed it.

I know, my passenger side mirror has a resident one, noticed the spider on the web one day last week before driving home, "right" i thought, drove like fook home, fail the mofo was still clinging on - i left it out of sheer respect to that lol

For the mirrors, take the glass/casing off and get the spider out!

I've had a pet wingmirror spider on the passenger side for about a month now, I only bother taking the webs off when I wash the car because there's always one there the next morning
