    My 2010 Mazdaspeed 3

    Well finally got my hands on a PC.. Spent last night and today cleaning my car. Washed and clayed it last night, then hit the car with Meguiars #205 Ultra Finishing Polish. Followed by Menzerna Finishing Glaze and sealed it with some Klasse High Gloss. Paint was in over all good condition.. I baby my car and only hand washed / polished it since I've owned it. I usually wash the car once a week. So we'll see how long the Klasse last on my car. I will say I could not believe how much dirt was in the paint when I did the sandwich bag trick.. I swear I had just clayed and detailed the car in January! Anyway the PC really helped out a good bit.. It has just enough power to take care of what little scratches I had here and there.. the real test will be when I wash my wife's Ford Escape next week.. That car is parked outside and always getting rained on. Anyway here are some pictures! No before, Ops.

    Thanks for checking it out!

    Yup first time using it. Really enjoyed it. Completely useless with the 6.5" pads that AOG sells as a kit. Luckily I ordered some 5.5" pads and 4" pads that got here yesterday. Would of been SOL removing some of the haze that was a on the paint.

    Yea I find that 6.5 inch pads are pointless. I only use my PC with 5.5 inch pads on my S2000. 4 inch pads are kind of pointless for me because I don't have small hard to get areas. I love what you did with the Mazda symbol. I see that a lot here on Long Island. You rocking Rota wheels? They look really sweet on your car.
