    2013 Mazda 6. Owner of the tan mazda 3 from last weekend sold the Mini Cooper I did a couple months back and got this gorgeous new ride. Loaded with nav, sunroof, etc. Grand touring package I believe. I had the privilege of driving it back to my house for the job. If they made this in an estate version I'd probably be buying one tomorrow.

    Goal: Fix what the dealer left behind, seal leather and fabric surfaces, decon and seal exterior. Unfortunately budget did not allow me to do any paint correction or a full wheels off sealant.

    Took about 10 working hours.

    Looked great from afar, just normal dirtyness.

    What the dealer left behind:

    She thought the car was covered in deep scratches, just tape lines

    Though it seems someone scuffed up the edge of the hood pretty good

    Not much to show on the interior as it was fairly clean. Leather and fabric surfaces sealed with respective sealants made by Wolf's chemicals. Done working for the evening, let it sit untouched until the morning for interior to fully cure.

    Wheels/arches/tires hit then dawn foam

    The trees dropping pollen strings on the car got old after about 5 seconds so I pulled it inside to do the two bucket, backed it out to rinse.

    Decon process went very smooth, very little contamination. Prepped the surface for two layers of AutoFinesse Tough Coat. Sealed the paint and all the door shuts.

    Exhaust tips were given a light polish and sealed.

    I decided to take a lot of beauty shots

    Very nice. How is the wolfs on the leather? I have perforated leather, and didn't know how it would make the leather feel/look, if any different at all.

    Thank you! This is my first time using the wolfs on any car, I'd say I was impressed. It didn't look different to me at all, and felt fine. I drove 25 minutes to return the car, didn't feel like I was sliding around on a banana peel :lol:

    Good looking car.... been seeing them in the advertisements on the big screen before the movie previews start. Definitely digging the re-design. Nice work.

    Thank you very much. This car definitely had a quality feel to me. Nice and quiet on the highway, not much noisier (if at all) than the lexus' I drive everyday at my full time job. and didn't feel too "cheap" and plastic-like.

    Great work! I totally wish they would bring the wagon over to the states, but the chances of that are slim to none.

    Yes if i were to give up my s10 blazer I'd need a wagon for the extra room. Plus I've grown to really like the look of wagons. Thanks
