1991 British Racing Green Miata
I cleaned up my 1991 BRG Miata. Everything is original, mostly stock, just a solid survivor (can you say that when its only 30 years old)? Shocks and springs have been changed, the shock tower brace is a factory part from a 1999, the radio antenna has been changed, otherwise its as it left the factory 30 years and 63,000 miles ago. I used Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, then Wolfgang Finishing glaze. I then used Carpro Eraser. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant followed. Finally two days later Adams Buttery Wax (hey I had it and have never used it). Interior I used DP Total Interior Cleaner, then DP VLP Coating. I don't drive the car in bad weather or wet roads. Last year I maybe put 2,000 miles on it, I don't expect to put much more on it this year. For maintenance and before any events or shows I will use Blackfire Carnauba Spray Wax. Engine bay is lots of elbow grease, and Adams Super VRT.

Thank you both. It’s not a perfect car, there are enough imperfections to start driving you crazy if you let them. What it is is a very solid presentable car. I can drive it and not worry about a few miles, or a stone chip. From 5 feet away though it’s almost perfect.

Nice work! That color combo is amazing!
Maybe its the newb in me, but when people apply a wax some days after an inital sealant coat, are they washing the car again before applying the wax (because of potential dust)?

Beautiful car and work! I love the interior, that’s probably a combo I would have picked back the day.
