2012 Mazda 3: 1 Step + Opti-Coat

This time a 2012 Mazda 3 delivered last month. Sadly the paint was not looking 1 month old, although it didn't have typical swirls from washing the owner went to a wash bay a few times and used a dirty brush. This meant M205 on a white pad just didn't do squat! D300 worked faster and better but any further and 2 steps would be needed on this soft paint.

Products Used:
CG CWC
Brown Royal 2:1
CG G6 Hypercoat
Meguiars APC 4:1
Ricardo Yellow
P21S Polishing Soap
Meguiars D300
Permanon Car
Opti-Coat
CG Bare Bones

Before:



Just a little dusty...


Smile!






Not too bad on the brake dust!

During:



Money shot! After half the hood, pretty dang dirty.


Onto the rest of the car.


Wiped... after claying.




Polishing time!!! No swirls, instead these quite deep lines. Left=unpolished


Harder to see the difference in this shot, but there is definitely some.


Holy smokes!! Spot buffing was needed.


Saved!


Polishing the rear in action.


Looking gooooood! #Winning


Last foam to get rid of any oils from the D300.


DIY Foam Gun in action


Let the foam dwell for a minute or two.


Rising action.

After:



The sun says it all




Wheels after thorough cleaning + Dressing


Reflection to perfection.




More smiles, enjoy.


Adios!

Thanks for looking!
