99 Mazda Miata

**CleanGSR** · 12-08-2006, 01:07 PM

I detailed this lady`s car a couple weeks ago and I`m pretty happy with the results. Sorry, but I kind of slacked on really good close up pictures.

Process:

Wash with ONR

Clay w/ ONR as lube

M80, Green Propel Pad, PC Speed 5

M21 x 2 by PC Blue Propel Pad

Megs Hot Shine on Tires

Mothers Back to Black on trim

Stoners Invisible Glass

Interior was really clean and pretty straightforward so no pics.

Hard to see but paint was really dirty and oxidized. Look at all the stuff in the clearcoat after washing with ONR.

Before

This was my Clay Bar after half of the hood. The hood and trunk lid were really bad and the rest of the car was pretty normal.

Headlight Before

Headlight After (M80 w/ PC on headlights)

Afters (really cloudy so picks aren`t that great....sorry)

Thanks for looking.

Nice job. the pics don`t do the job justice

Wow! That car was dirty! The claybar tells it all! Great job!!

Yeah, I know. It was a complete overcast that day and literally no sun peeking through the clouds. Hopefully the pictures show enough to see the difference though.

This was without a doubt the most the clay has ever gotten out of a finish for me. You could see a huge difference between each side just after claying this car.

Wow! Great job on reviving the miata!

Huge improvement! Even with less than optimal lighting, the after pics look excellent!

Even with the bad clouds you can see the car came out perfect, i only like the clouds when the sun is out gives the reflection that extra aaahhhh, Nice job man.

I appreciate all the great comments. It was nice how small this car was. It was really a fun car to detail.

Looks great!

The wheels look weird though, like ordinary steel rims but with a polished lip? Or is that lip a clip-on thing? :think:

**CleanGSR** · 12-11-2006, 04:06 PM

Yeah, they were kind of bland. It was a clip on chrome lip on silver painted steel wheels. THe owner was a middle aged school teacher and even she was saying that she wanted some different wheels.
