2005 Mazda 6

This was a one-step polish and exterior detail; what a curveball this car was... Most of the car was a repaint, and pretty much each section was done by a different shop at a different time. Some area`s corrected very nicely via single-step polish, while other sections laughed and said try again.

The car really did need a compound to get back up to my level of satisfaction, but the owner opted to just stick with the one step, even when I pointed out that several repainted sections had clears so hard that only a multi-step compound would put a dent in them. We ended up agreeing that I would finish out the car with a 1-step now, and we would book a full compound prior to winter.

Process was a 1-step polish using Optimum Polish II / Orange via PC. Overall, the vehicles finish improved dramatically however there were still plenty of RIDS and even a lot of of swirling left on a few of the repainted sections with nuclear-bomb proof clearcoat. Final steps were CG Butter Wax, Stoners Window, Stoners More Shine tire dressing.
