Detailed: White Mazda3

**Tropicality** · 07-12-2007, 01:10 PM

Well here is my first detail.. it is my white Mazda3 sedan. I'll note that I have a clearbra on the front, I did the same things to it as I did to the paint (clay, apply sealants etc.) Seemed to work well! There were actually lots of spots in it that the clay took out.

First washed with PB SSS / Schmitt
Clayed with DP 4-1 Lube and Yellow Clay

Decided not to polish since the car is 2 months old and only has very minor swirls - which the DG has hidden anyways. I'll do that next full detail in a few months.

Applied DG #105 with wolfgang applicator pad
Applied Klasse AIO to all ext. windows, lights, and wheels
Applied 303 AP to the tires
Applied PB Natural Look Dressing to what little ext. trim I have

The next morning I applied DG AW

Well the reflections are not too sharp, but I hear that AW looks better the next day.. Well I'll wait until this evening and then I will probably apply Liquid Souveran anyways.. and add a few more pictures.

Oh and the interior, never really did it because I had just cleaned/conditioned with Wolgang a few days ago, it worked/looks great though!! Plus the rest of the interior is clean... I vacuum/dust weekly.

I think it would look soooo much better with a tint in the front windows, even just 35-50%... But no one in my city will do it because of the stupid police (seriously, theres a law requiring you to have daytime running lights, which they never pull anyone over for - and which actually causes accidents, then there is tinted windows, which causes no accidents, and we are in a city with almost no guns, theres maybe 1 gun shooting per year, and they pull over everyone for tinted windows?! Come on!!!!!), I have to drive 2 hours to get it done, I probably will eventually...

And here are some pictures of the clear bra:

Great work man, I know how hard mazda white paint can be, no flake to help hide stuff, I love the way DG 105 looks on white, that the only thing I use on my white Mazda 6.

Actually theres quite a few flakes in this paint, I guess I never really took a good picture of em, the camera I was using doesn't really show it well either...

Looks very nice! I also have a coat of DG #105 (just sealant, no wax) on my daily driver ('99 Infiniti I30), and really like the way it looks on white.
