While there`s nothing exciting, glamorous or sexy about a Mazda 3, There`s a reason why not to buy those inexpensive buffers with the microfiber cloth. Well, these are the results that you can expect when you use them. Do yourself a favor and don`t do it!



Otherwise your car surface will look like this poor Mazda 3.

What a change!!! How did you find the Maxda paint-- Hard or soft?

In my opinion the Mazda3 paint is neither hard, nor soft. It`s in the middle? It doesn`t scratch too easily when washed properly but buffing it out isn`t that difficult either?



It`s really thin though... The clear on Mazda`s has been the thinnest I have ever encountered.

Their yellow is the absolute worst paint on the market.



I`m sure this is clear as mud?! :)

Thanks!! Thinking about a 2012 Mazda 3 for the wife. Nice to know if I take care of it won`t have to polish too often. I`m spoiled by VW clear--easy to care for without inducing scratches.

I recently did a Mazda Speed 6, and the surface was very easy to work with, on this particular Mazda, I found some spots to be soft and others very hard. The hood, for example, was very hard. It appears that the car has been re painted in some spots and maybe that`s why the difference?
