2002 Mazda P5 - Yellow is a real pain.

The car is a flat yellow single stage paint (no flakes). The car looked like a tired yellow with a little oxidization. Claying really cleaned and smoothened out the paint really well. For added slickness, protection and gloss I applied Pinnacle XMT 360 and it came out really, really well. I plan to top it with pinnacle Liquid spray Souveran wax, for added gloss once the XMT360 cures and hardens.


Exterior only
-Wash with Megs GC + foam gun
-Clayed with Megs white clay and Mothers Yellow clay when discovered megs white clay was too weak.
- XMT360 applied with LC White via UDM speed 5.
- PB EX-P via UDM speed 4


All the before/after pics I have (I suck with the camera):

















































(On the wheel well I didn't take a pic AFTER I dressed it, but I will tomorrow when I dress it with 303.)

I hope I'm not posting premature but looks like a nice turn around. Your signature got my attention, your located in Toronto. Nice, yet another Canadian here slowly but surely Canadians are coming on board here . Is the signature the name of your copany?

As for the vehicle, looks good. The colour seems to have more gloss to it and a sharper looking yellow .

Thank you for sharing.

i can see a difference. yellow is a pretty mute color so don't feel bad. not supposed to be bright and shiny... deep and dark and beautiful is what it's supposed to look like and you did that. so go easy on yourself. when you apply the LS spray wax it'll help out.

That yellow looks very nice. Pinnacle Souveran paste is what I'd use on it!

yes, that's the name of my company, (it's a small student part-time upstart) I'm GST registered, insured and loaded with equipment and products.

There's a few of us on AGOL, but not enough yet, haha, which in terms of business is good for me.
