So I washed and waxed the rental that I'll have for two weeks while my car is getting the rear quarter panel and bumper replaced. ( a ford econoline ripped it off) Its a 2007 Mazda 6 V6. With the paper tag still in the window from when enterprise bought it. I like mosto f you, don't like to drive around in dirty cars so I did a quick wash and did NXT paste topped with NXT spray. Enjoy! BTW the main reason I had to wash it was because a few days after I got it we had a few inches of rain and it was covered it filth.

:LOLOL I've done the same thing when I've had to rent cars for more than a few days.



How does the Mazda6 drive?
 
Wow, I would never detail a rental car. I would consider using one as a welcome break from the constant cleaning of my own car.
 
WOW, this is the first time I've heard of a rental being washed and waxed by the customer... You should get at least one free day of rental for your work... Good job..
 
Hehe, I just detailed the Hyundai Azera I got as a rental replacement for my Solara (got rear ended by a guy hopped up on a bunch of drugs who didn't know where he was). It's black with 2000 miles and had swirls a mile deep that were driving me nuts, so I polished the thing out. I wonder if anyone will notice.
 
Man I haven't even had a time to polish and wax my own car yet, let alone a rental! I can understand practicing using your rotary, or washing it to just have a clean car, but waxing AND applying the NXT Booster spray wax? (which takes as much time as the NXT Tech wax itself since it's such a crappy product) That's going a little too far if you ask me.
 
Graycat's compulsion seems completely normal to me.

More than a couple of years ago my Stealth needed work at a dealership. The few days needed for the part to come in and the installation prompted me to rent a new Jeep with huge tires for the interim.

It was so overtired it floated on the road and felt quite unstable but those tires looked great. Looked great, drove lousy.

I couldn't stand how they looked old even though they were new so I worked on them.

I had to play 20 questions with the rental agency when I took the Jeep back and ended up doing a little professional development (Pro-D - there's a term Accumulator will recognize) with the yard staff.

When I read the Graycat's first post I just nodded approvingly and gave him a silent 'thumbs up'.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this... I've been really busy. It drives great. I would prefer a manual but the 6speed manumatic shifts pretty quick. The car has some grunt behind it. Very quick. The handling is impressive for a car this size, and visibility is awesome. I would purchase one if I was in the market. The headlights are great, especially the brights... the projector low beams stay on and its the best halogen setup I have seen. If you want to know anything else just let me know, I put about 1500 miles on it, so I had plenty of seat time.



To everyone else, I knew that I was going to keep the car a while, and it was completely nasty. I had it for a total of 25 days. And yes I used the booster to try and get rid of it lol. Keeping it clean payed off though... I forgot to completely fill it up before I took it back but they didn't care.
