2013 Mazda 6. Owner of the tan mazda 3 from last weekend sold the Mini Cooper I did a couple months back and got this gorgeous new ride. Loaded with nav, sunroof, etc. Grand touring package I believe. I had the privilege of driving it back to my house for the job. If they made this in an estate version I`d probably be buying one tomorrow.



Goal: Fix what the dealer left behind, seal leather and fabric surfaces, decon and seal exterior. Unfortunately budget did not allow me to do any paint correction or a full wheels off sealant.



Took about 10 working hours.



Looked great from afar, just normal dirtyness.

She thought the car was covered in deep scratches, just tape lines

Though it seems someone scuffed up the edge of the hood pretty good

Not much to show on the interior as it was fairly clean. Leather and fabric surfaces sealed with respective sealants made by Wolf`s chemicals. Done working for the evening, let it sit untouched until the morning for interior to fully cure.

Wheels/arches/tires hit then dawn foam

The trees dropping pollen strings on the car got old after about 5 seconds so I pulled it inside to do the two bucket, backed it out to rinse.

Decon process went very smooth, very little contamination. Prepped the surface for two layers of AutoFinesse Tough Coat. Sealed the paint and all the door shuts.



Exhaust tips were given a light polish and sealed.

I decided to take a lot of beauty shots

Looks great!! I`m pretty sure that`s a 2014 as it has the SkyActive badge.

Pretty impressive car--26 mpg city and 38 highway--allot of room and handles well from the reviews I`ve seen. Have to test drive it though as I`m addicted to the low end torque of my V6 VW. You`re right though an estate model would be great--I think they have one in Europe.
