Looks great!
Thanks for your replys! No PC used here. #26 is easy enough by hand, but I spent maybe 3 hours hand-rubbing #9 2.0 into the panels with a foam pad and removed at least 90% of the swirls in the paint. It was my first time using #9 and I'm certain I would have removed all the swirls (swirling was only minor to begin with) by hand application if I spent another 3 hours. Any doubts about getting a PC have been eliminated after this exercise. :doh
car looks good. do you have any more pics?
i love the MX-6's. In fact, in 1998, when I was looking to buy a car, I was looking for an MX-6 LS 5sp. But couldn't find one worth buying at the time. So I went with the next closest thing - the 1996 Contour SE 5sp. Had the Duratec (which was a plus) but everything else - including two more doors! I really loved the way the MX-6 handled....especially compared to my Contour - stock vs. stock, MX-6 won hands down. So I had to go and redo my suspension - it just wasn't the same.
I would love to see more pics if you have any more. Your car looks awesome so far!!!! :bow

Thanks for your comments, GR8SVT. It is unfortunate that Mazda cancelled production of the MX-6 after 1997. I've owned mine since 1993 (original owner) and I still like driving it to this day. The long wheel base prevents it from handling like a BMW 3-series, but the stock leather seats are the most comfortable seats I've ever driven in, thus making it my favourite car for long road trips. Right now, I'm trying to come up with some new ideas for more pictures. I don't have too many at the moment, but I'll share what I have below. BTW, my suspension has been upgraded and allows the car to sit a little lower than stock (with the aid of Ground Control coilovers and Tokico adjustable struts).
