Almost dead MX-6

[06E90]

My nephew came to visit this weekend and brought his badly neglected Mazda MX-6. It lay under the elements for about 8 months while he was in Iraq :usa . I saw a chance to play around with the PC and try some products. We were not able to fully finish the car due to time. He is planning to sell it for $700. After working on it I told him he could get $750 for it now :LOLOL

Some befores, note the clear coat failure:

During, I hit it with #80 and a Megs cutting pad followed by #80 with yellow polishing pad

One in the garage the next day. I followed the #80 with Mothers PP and was able to get rid of some streaking that was almost like holograms and would not come out with #80.

and outside, note the difference of the sunroof and trunk that were not done, I used Duragloss 105 for an LSP (same as the Jeep in the background):

and after, hard sufaces cleaned with Simoniz Orange Degreaser (from Big Lots), followed by Megs QID, then Megs Vinyl/rubber protectant. Carpets with good old "Tuff Stuff" and Folex:

By the way, no pics of the driver`s side because it has deer damage!

I dont see how he can only get $750 out of that...Even with deer damage I would put a price tag of $2,000 on that baby



Looks great, nice job!!

I think he could get about $1500 or so now that it is cleaner. We also cleaned the engine bay a bit but he had to leave back to his base. He might drop by again next weekend and we can finish up. I will post an update if we are able to. BTW, I edited the content to add more of the process/products.
