Soul Red Metallic- Mazda's lovely red which adorns their new lineup of cars. The latest designs from Mazda certainly look good with this red being my favorite of their new color schemes.
We used Optimum's Hyper Compound and Polish with foam and MF pads on a Flex for most of the paint correction and polishing. Rotary only on selected areas with deep scratches, etc.
It does take some time. The OPC makes it much easier to remove. I find it best to keep changing towels so a fresh surface is used to remove the sticky bits.
There is actually no issues with the underlying plastic. They look great and the wordings and graphics that are printed on them are still present even after removal of the soft touch coating.
