It was my sister's car's turn now. It's an '06 Mazda 3 with about 35k on the clock. The car has been pretty neglected, usually getting a drive-thru wash once or twice a year. There was tar caked all over it, scratches from her fingernails above the door handles, swirl marks galore... I decided to put some serious time into this one, and it ended up taking me two full days to get the car looking good inside and out.
Started with a two bucket hand wash using
meguiars NXT wash. Actually did the engine first with some simple green. Used a microfiber pad and bug and tar remover to get 90% of the tar and bug spots off. Did a quick wipe over the areas I had cleaned the tar off to remove any excess product. Cleaned the wheels with
Meguiars wheel cleaner and a brush. Dusted the car, then clayed it with a
Clay Magic blue bar. This successfully removed any remaining surface contaminents. Washed the car again to get all of the clay lube off. Used PB SSR2.5 with an orange pad. Went to SSR1 on a white pad, then Finishing Touch Glaze on a white pad. Worked on some
Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket, then gave the car a couple coats of P21S carnauba.
