15 year old paint (still looks good)

[brwill2005]

Here are some pictures of my 15 year old Mazda 626 Turbo. This is the original factory paint. Unfortunately, some of the clearcoat on the roof and the hatch is starting to fail. I did my first detail on this car 10 years ago using Meguiars Deep Crystal System! Today I polished it with Optimum`s Polish via Cyclo, and topped it with PRO Wax`s Yellow Paste Wax.

The paint looks terrific! Great little car too. My brother had an `87 626 GT...and in fact, it was the detail I did for him when he had it that led to my detailing career. People at his office thought he`d had it repainted and when he told them I did the work, he called to tell me 4-5 people at his office wanted me to do the same to their cars. :)



Great sleeper too. No one seems to know what they are.

Thanks. I have only seen 10 of these exact cars since my father bought it. Most of the hatchbacks you see are the non-turbo version. This car was pretty fast in its heyday, and for having nearly 225000 miles, it is still kinda quick.
