Not alot of correction here, my sister bought it almost a year ago. it had like 30 miles and came from the dealership in great condition.



I have washed it and waxed it a few times for her, then she does touchless carwashes in between and air dries it, i tell here to pick up microfibers and dry it but she never has maybe for the better.



I did a dawn wash and dried with QD.

Its nice to work with such a clean car, i found a few RIDS and some very fine swirls, those will be for another day.
 
nice, you gotta love red when it's nice and clean. the fact there aren't any holes drilled in the front bumper or front license plate, makes it look alot cleaner...
 
Thank you!

I believe some of the cars are single stage, but this was BC/CC Ive never had red on my rags when cleaning/waxing it.
 
Well im not sure then, i was looking online trying to find out, it looks like some cars were single stage and some were not. would it come off onto the clay?
 
Wow. Collinite does the trick. Looks great! Next time try 1Z "paint/polish" on first for perhaps even greater results. Off topic, but what are those "screens" on the house windows? Never seen anything like that before. (I'm an architect. Just wondering.)
 
They have a higher R-value than blinds, thats a southern exposure, so that room gets hot in the arizona summer.



I will do some polishing to her car in the future, but i wanted to do something quick for her...and it was free
 
What I figured. Lolz. Try an overhang next time! (not directed at you. I know the subdivision has a "look".)

Arizona was the favorite state from my travels. Hope to get back there in the next few years.

I like the tire shine in those pictures. It it glossy in full sun? I prefer a flat but black finish.
 
Overhang wouldnt do it, the sun is very low in the southern sky in the middle of the day, and yes i think they look goofy, oh well the bills went down.]

Oh yeah and homeowners associations are very picky



I like black magic matte finish, but i wanted these to pop. they have gloss but not dripping wet, and no sling... I hate Sling
 
Looks just like mine except red! The Mazda 3 is a fun little car. I love mine.



A simple mod is to remove the door moldings. It's pretty easy and makes the whole car look a lot sleeker. All you need is a hot hair dryer and Goo Gone.
 
Yep its a fun car, I always remove moldings and badges on my cars, usually the first mod i do. I dont think she really cares though. Ill have to ask if she wants it done.
