New Detailing Rig: Mazdaspeed 3

[TH0001]

Picked up this '10 Mazdaspeed 3 last week. Way more fun to drive then the HHR, but a little less room. It needed a pretty decent detail so I...

-washed with Dawn
-clayed using Blackfire Polyclay II and Blackfire Lube (lot's of green overspray, it took me about 2 hours to get everything smooth).
- polished with Meguiar's new DA Microfiber System
- wheel wells, wheels, tires, and trim cleaned with Optimum Power Clean 3:1 and a lot of different brushes (Eimann Fabrik Wheel Woolies for the wheels, arches, and front grill, tooth brushes (ADA approved) for all of the trim)
- 2 coats of wheel wax on the wheels
- Blackfire Tire Gel on the tires
- Exhaust tips polished with Optimum Metal Polish
- Glass Science on the windows
- Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant on the trim
- Meguiar's Hyperdressing on the wheel wheels

When you need to haul a decent amount of stuff, and haul it quickly, a Speed3 will certainly get the job done! Of course, now that this one has the magic Todd touch on it, the arrest-me-red will really stand out to the local law enforcement, so watch that right foot!

D/A Microfiber system, huh?

As I already said, it looks fantastic Todd. It really does have the WOW factor. Then again I've never seen anything you did that didn't.

I wonder if you or Mike can say if the new MF pads will be machine washable like the new soft buff 2.0 pads. I'm not trying to push anyone into saying anything they are not supposed to say so if you can say thats fine. If not thats fine also.

Fantastic work, Todd, like always.

That red is really soaky.

You can get maximum results of Microfiber System with your talent and passion.

Im guessing he used the finishing wax from the DA microfiber system.
