I was told it could be from glue/adhesive from the plastic the car is wrapped in.

P21s to the rescue. I love this stuff for jobs like this. Works so well on pretty much anything and it’s non abrasive. P21s completely removed them and restored the glass to new.

Glass looks awesome. Which P21S product did you use. Have spots on my sunroof I am trying to remove. Not water spots. Thanks

Looks good. I had a similar situation many years ago when I purchased a new car. I told the dealership not to detail before delivery and was left with those glue marks all over the car. I too thought they were scuffs, but was happy to see them cleanly wipe off without polishing.

I used P21s Paintwork Cleanser. It's a great product to have on hand IMO. You use it by hand and it works very well on paint, glass and even plastic. It will remove water spots too.

Loved the ZR2 but I couldn't justify it. I wasn't hauling anything and there just isn't many great off-road areas around. I was driving 95% of the time around town. With gas prices going up and trade-in values so high for trucks, I decided to make a move.

Understood. Yea, used trade in values are insane as of late. Top dollar no doubt.

I have the same color as you. Polymetal Gray Metallic. I love it. I've had 3 3's in the past - 2007, 2014, 2015 and now a 2021. Always been a big Mazda fan. Since around 2012 they've been on a tear.

Not to mention some of the best driving cars on the road. I don't think I've ever been behind of the wheel of a Mazda and not like it, whether it was a car, SUV, or a Miata. The balance, steering feel, and body control are all excellent.

My daughter still drives a 2010 Mazda3 S hatchback (6 spd manual) I bought in 2009 and gave to her sometime around 2013 when she went to college. It runs great, still looks brand new inside and out, and has NEVER had a single part/component failure. With around 100K miles it's still running strong on nothing but routine scheduled maintenance. She loves the car. I drove it again this summer and was shocked at how good it is when driven aggressively.

I did a 180 on Hyper Seal. I really like it. I did a quick hand polish with Hyper Polish then used OPT Paint Prep.
