  • 2005 Red Mazda 3 GT

    2005 Mazda 3 GT with 118700 km. Belongs to a young couple with a 2 years old and a 4 months old. Needless to say that cleaning the car wasn’t not in their priorities lately.
    We set the appointment at 9h this morning, but when I woke up at 7h30, the car was already waiting in my driveway. I like customers like them !

    The main goal was to focus on the interior. They wanted me to take care of the carpet in the front, which was stained pretty badly. The carpet was very bad because everything seemed trapped in it. To my surprise since they have such young kids, the back was pretty clean !


    Process :
    Vac, dry brush, vac
    Carpet and seats were cleaned using APC+, hot water and Quick Out Carpet Cleaner then vac
    Vinyl cleaned with warm water and APC+
    Glass cleaned with NXT glass cleaner
    Vinyl dressed with Quick Interior Detailer

    Washed rims, tires and wells using NXT soap and APC
    Washed body using NXT soap with a few drops of APC+ for a stronger mix
    Dryed with an Absorber and a Dehydrator towel
    Clayed with Ricardo Yellow Clay
    Waxed with D301 Finishing Wax using a green 5,5’’ LC pad
    Ultimate Quick Wax on all windows (except the windshield), paint and rims
    Trim dressed with Ultimate Protectant Cream
    Tires dressed with ASD

    After :
    What a difference. The red color really popped in the sun.








    Sorry the pictures of the interior after were all bad for some reason…











    The owner was very happy when he came back to pick the car in the afternoon. We were in High School together, but we never met after that. He even gave me a nice tip !

      Man that car was nasty! Turned out great and the red looks great in the sun!

        Now some quick pics of my own car. 2009 Pontiac Vibe.
        Yesterday, I gave it a coat of M7 Show Car Glaze followed with 2 cotes of M26 High Tech Yellow Wax. Paint looked very wet after that ! I polished with Ultimate Polish and waxed with Ultimate Wax at the begining of May.






        With the Mazda waiting to be pickedup in the background.

          Thanks !
          Yeah, it was nasty. But with young kids, the car is not always a top priority I guess.

            That's true. But a little time and it looks good as new! (or better)

              Very nicely detailed.

              D301 did a trick to bring the paint back to life.

              Your Vibe looks very nice too after Ultimate treatment and then M07/ M26.

                I love the D301! Easy on, easy off and it leaves a nice finish. Even more when followed with Ultimate Quick Wax.

                  Great job! The car doesn't look like it has that much mileage and the paint looks brand new!

                    The paint looks great on both cars.

                          I don't know if you have the same carpet in your 3 that this one had. But it was a PITA to vacuum and it took a while. Or maybe it was just too worn out ?
