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!
