2010 Miat MX-5

This is a really low mileage Miata that I detailed last week. The car overall wasn't too bad to start with but definitely benefited from a days worth of polishing!!

I always get carried away while I'm working and forget to take before pics. However, I managed to grab a few...

After a thorough wash and clay it was time to tackle the tar that had been on there for a couple years. Ouch!!:eek:

As I said the car wasn't horrible but as you can see the wheels needed a little attention...

The interior had a few bumps and bruises but nothing that couldn't be managed. The dash plastic had some scratches which I got out except for one that was too deep.

The paint on this MX-5 wasn't too bad, so I didn't need to get extensive. I went for the trusty Poorboy's Pro Polish and topped that with Natty's Paste Wax. I applied Poorboy Wheel Sealant to all four wheels and dressed all the tires Poorboy Bold N Bright. I also used Bold N Bright on the engine...gives a great low matte non greasy finish. The interior also received a little Pro Polish on the shiny plastic to removed the minor scratches and scuffs. I applied QD+ to all of the polished plastic and the clear lenses including instrument cluster. The dash was protected with Natural Look, which always looks AWESOME with it's low matte shine. I conditioned all the leather with Leather Stuff and a red Buff n Shine applicator.

My client was elated to say the least. The pictures just don't bring out the Silver Sparkle that it has. Really a pleasure to work on! :bigups

Looks great! If you don't mind me asking, what did you clean that top with?


And I had no idea they offered Miatas with automatic transmissions....:(
 
Yes indeed, looks great there Tyler. Did get to remove any of those scratches or swirls from the interior plastic panel you shown? If you did what product you use if you don't mind. I just like to know Tyler.
 
Mikenap: I used and soft bristle body brush and Poorboy's APC diluted something like 4:1.

ZoomZoom: I used Pro Polish, microfiber and gently polished in a back and forth motion. Once that was done I used the QD+ to give it the 'pop'. QD+ is really sweet for interior plastics like that. I pretty much use that exclusively for interiors now.
