Mazda Miata 1.8 Total Detail

[insigner]

Hello to all. After Spiros'es suggestion on posting a work of mine, here is a recent detailing I had done on a friends Miata NB.

This is my first work here so please be kind

Car had never been properly polished so this car's soft clear coat was not at its best. We first started with washing the car and then with claying.





Car's paint looked like that upon inspection. Many swirls, RDS and some deeper scratches all around the car.
















So we got the car into the garage so the surfaces could cool down as the sun was shinning strong. Then started correcting with a DA polisher, a Lake Country Orange Cutting Pad and Menzerna PO203S.

Here are a couple of 50/50 shots I got of the rear trunk





For some spots where deeper swirls could not be removed easily by polisher, I used the help of some wet sanding





Which turned out really well after polishing

Rigth B Pillar wet sanded



Hard top polished. Rear glass is being cleaned in depth with Auto Glym Glass polish



We also removed hard top and cleaned the soft top with some APC solution and then treated the Vinyl surface.



In the meantime we also polished the headlights
