    2007 Mazda 3, Black Metallic


    A customer brought me his girlfriend’s car and dropped it off last night. He wanted to see what I could do for it. It definitely needed some time in the operating room with the doc @ Autodermatology!!!

    The paint was severely contaminated, swirled, marred, and in general poor condition. This vehicle had the most orange peel I have EVER seen on a vehicle! It was horrendous!



    The process:

    2 bucket wash with Adam’s car shampoo.
    Wheels and tires: Adam’s deep wheel cleaner. Tuf Shine tire cleaner. Daytona and misc brushes.
    Clayed with Optimum Opti-Eraser-Aggressive grade. This was done twice.
    Final claying was done with Megs Aggressive clay.
    Adam’s Detail Spray was used as lube.
    Flex 3401. Cutting pads-I don’t remember what ones I used.
    Griots BOSS Fast Correcting Cream.
    Final polish was with HD Speed.
    LSP was Megs 365 Paint Protect.
    Glass: SCG cleaner and clarifying glass sealant.
    Engine plastics: cleaned with 1Z APC and treated with Blackfire AIO trim and tire.
    Interior: vacuumed via Metro vac and cleaned and protected with Adam’s TID.
    Tire dressing: Kenotek vinyl and leather conditioner.

    I believe I covered everything. I hope you enjoyed my write-up and the pictures!

    Thanks for looking!

    Amazing work!!! Did you do an IPA wipe down after HD speed before Meg's 365? Just curious what was under than HD speed. Regardless that gloss and depth is pretty unreal!

    Thanks everyone! I did not do any wipe down after the speed, went right to the Meg's 365.

    Both of them were stoked!!! That made my day!
