Mazda

Marring, scratches removed with Meguiars #83 DAC/P, via rotary @1800 rpm
Polished with Meguiars #80 Speedglaze, via rotary@1300 rpm, with 8006 pad
One coat of Meguiars #21 Sythetic Sealent via pc/hand
One coat of Meguiars NXT Paste Wax via hand

On a note, I forgot how small MX-5's are, and short it takes to buff them. It took me maybe 20 mintues to hit the whole car with the rotary.

Okay, enough talking, some pictures...

Arrived early and started claying. The Infiniti had a lot of bonded contaminents. Here is the clay after 1/4 of the hood.



The rear was worse, here is after half the rear bumper (about 2 inches thick and 2 feet long)!!!



After washing, claying, and polishing with #80 on the PC, it was time to seal the paint with #21. Here is the fender after the second coat of #21 via PC.



Here is a coupe pictures taken inside the garage. The paint is looking liquid wet.







Then it was outside for some shots and to check for swirls (sorry for the lack of before pictures, but the car had minor water etching and light swirling).





Here you can see the Mazda Miata waiting to be polished with the Infiniti is showing off.

Then it was on the Miata which went quick. I spot buffed some scuffs and scratches, then hit the whole car with 80 on the rotary followed by a coat of 21, topped with NXT.





The white came out very wet, but also very reflective. I had a hard time from keeping the pictures from washing out, so it was hard to capture the liquid reflections on the surface.

Very, very nice!!! I buffed a red single-stage miata with #80 and found that the paint was quite soft. #80 took out all of the swirls and dead paint, except for a few random scratches here and there. Both the Infiniti and the Miata look great!
