mshu7's 2005 Mazda3 SP23

Hey all! I did an exterior detail on my Mazda3 the other day & thought I'd share the pics. Sorry that the backgrounds aren't the greatest. I was running out of time because we had to leave to go pick up a couple new lab pups .

-Wash-
Meg's Gold Class
This is my favorite shampoo. While I've used DG #901 and liked it, Gold Class is still my favorite shampoo.

-Polish-
Cyclo Polisher w/Green Polishing Pads
I purchased the polisher a few weeks ago and have now used it a couple of times. This machine is so much better than a PC. It's heavier out of the box, but once you turn it on, it requires very little effort. Vibrations are much much less than a PC so my hands and arms don't feel weird after I'm done using it. The biggest difference is how much faster it goes vs. the PC. I wish I would have purchased this polisher a long time ago!!!

Optimum Polish
This is my go to polish right now because of the working time and ZERO dusting! I didn't need much in the means of correction so nothing more than this was needed.

-Wax-
DP Max Wax
I know I've said it before, but I aboslutely love this wax. For the $30 that it costs, I don't see myself going to anything different anytime soon.

-Windows-
Duragloss Rain Repel #751
This is a great product. I love using it on the exterior glass to help aid in beeding of water. It has a very slick feel when using it.

-Wheels & Wheel Wells-
Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Spray
I like aerosols for these kinds of areas. This is the only can of Meg's Hot Shine I've tried and I like it. Although, I took other's recommendations and purchased a half dozen cans of AA Tire Foam & AA Tire Gel for an upcoming F250 detail.

-Wheels-
Duragloss Aquawax #951
Another product that I love. This was the first time I've used it on the wheels. I did so because I was in a hurry. Normally, I would have applied PB Wheel Sealant. PB WS really makes my painted wheels shine. It'll have to wait until next time though.

-Trim-
DP Max Wax
Since Max Wax is such an awesome, non-staining wax, I thought I'd apply it to the trim. No staining what-so-ever and since it goes on and comes off like butter, application was a breeze. It has yet to rain but I'm interested to see what kind of beeding action I get on the trim.

Ok, on to the pics. Comments and/or questions welcome! Thanks for viewing!











Flake anyone?


Reflections

Hey you got a Cyclo too nice . I agree with you, I should have purchased the Cyclo long time ago.
By the way, I really like your write up very nice and very detailed...I love write ups. Good job buddy, and the vehicle looks wicked...such a nice gloss to it

Thanks for the compliments guys! I don't know what I would do w/o my Cyclo now that I've used it.

Like others, I try to emulate Justin's great write-ups!

Thanks again!
