New 2010 Mazda CX-7: Natty's Red!

[Reddwarf]

With my work/ travel schedule detailing the cars on the weekends is not really an option. It so pains me to see my car so dirty!

I posted a couple of weeks ago that we bought a Mazda CX-7 for the SO. Since I have a 3 day weekend I was able to spend a good part of Saturday detailing the new ride. I am so out of shape! The heat and all the work wiped me out. But I sure enjoyed it! Thanks to several suggestions I went with Poorboy's Natty's Red as the LSP. Very pleased with the look of the red.:dblthumb2:

I'm about to order some Natty's Red, how workable was it to apply and wipe off? Looks great btw, the hood has some really nice glow and reflections.

Nice! I have been using Natty's Red as a final coat after Collinite #845 to give it some warmth.

Very easy to work with. Easy on and off. Even when left to haze for a while. I did the roof first and let that dry while I started on the hood. No problem buffing off the roof. Most PB products can be used in the sun and Natty's Red is no exception.

My jar is a bit low so I'm going to order more myself!

Thanks for the tip! :xyxthumbs: I'm picking up a 32oz of Nattys Blue since its on sale for $49.99. :dblthumb2: Killer deal and bang for the buck since i'm on a very tight budget.

looking good! not trying to offend but is that overspray in the wheel well? kinda looks like it or could be just a reflection.

Is Natty's red the same formula as Natty's blue just differently scented?

Everyone is or should be on a tight budget these days! Can't go wrong with Natty's Blue

Reflection from the driveway. I hate that pebbled surface!

Different. I think Blue is a warmer look and red is more glossy. I would use Blue on dark colors and Red on lighter. But both will look great on any color.
