    Thanks Sicoupe, we're stoked! Now just waiting for cyber Friday to get here so I can order all my pads etc… Anyone have any idea what I can safely use to remove the dealers stickers in the windows? I didn't allow them to touch ANYTHING once I picked it out..lol. They kept looking at me...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Well, after a bunch of fangdangling, we finally drove off the lot with our NEW 2015 Mazda 3 & 6. The ride home felt incredible compared to the Rav! Wow, what an improvement! So Allen, will 30ml of the Cquartz UK cover both of our vehicles? or will I need to layer it? I think I was told...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Right on EVO….thanks! One last question…. (for now) :) I was thinking of getting the 16oz bottle of fg400 while getting the 32oz bottle of sf4000… does that sound right if i'm basically only taking care of two, maybe three vehicles?

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Visitor, I sure will :D 1FastTbird, Yes, I sure will skip the dealer's hack plan… like I said, I seen what they do to their cars. No Thanks! I was just recently told that Cquartz UK is an Awesome product but was made in Europe where the weather is somewhat on the colder side and was therefore...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Oh, and i'm considering using Optimum Gloss Coat on both vehicles…. still not 100% sure yet. Keep reading mixed reviews on coatings…… My mind keeps telling me that coating new vehicle that will be living here in the dusty dry desert will definitely need that added protection and will make...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Thanks everyone for the great advice…. and for taking the time to share your experiences with detailing Mazdas. I just wish I knew whether or not I can correct both vehicles by just using the SF4000 alone with the cutting & polishing pads ~OR~ if I should just shut up and order the FG400...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Right on, I'll look into the Cquartz. Thanks! And yea, this is where I actually wished I had some polishing experience under my belt so I can determine exactly what steps need to be taken to correct their obvious mistakes. The dealership told me the other night that they would be willing to...

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Thanks 2shiny, this will be my 1st attempt to add a coating to a vehicle. Is Cquarts easy to use….or easier then other brands? As for polishing….so your saying to skip compounding altogether then and just polish out the obvious?

    Mazda Clear Coats Too Thin???

    Oh yea, and part of our "package deal" is that they offer a Paint Protection every six months …for three years. So they basically expect me to go down there six different times during the first 3 years to have them coat the paint with some kind of protective film. But I am SERIOUSLY...

    Trading my 2013 Toyota Rav4 ltd for a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 ---- Thoughts????

    That was the problem we had as well taters…. We have two Mazda dealers that are right here in the same town as us but the reviews for them are seriously negative for both.. So we decided to go and give them a shot anyways and right away we felt like we were being scammed and lied to. So we...

    Trading my 2013 Toyota Rav4 ltd for a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 ---- Thoughts????

    Decided to go with the same colors as my Rav4 M6 GTi Grey Metallic / Black Leather My other half will be getting the M3 GTi in the Soul Red/Black leatherette. ;) I requested that they DO NOT WASH either of them upon arrival since these were specially ordered and have to be freighted. We are...

    Book Review: How to use the Flex XC 3401 by Mike Phillips

    Great review Pain… I have book# 14 and just read it last week. I found it to be valuable because I have never used a polisher before and just recently purchased the Flex 3401 HD. A few of the questions that you asked in post #13 were some of the questions I felt I wanted answers to as well...

    Trading my 2013 Toyota Rav4 ltd for a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 ---- Thoughts????

    Oh, and i forgot to mention, since i'm asking for the grand touring with all the bells & whistles, the ONLY two colors they have anywhere near me within two states away is either Soul Red or Snowflake White Pearl. I kinda like the Sour Red given it's a Deep Metallic. So yea, I may end up...

    Trading my 2013 Toyota Rav4 ltd for a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 ---- Thoughts????

    Nick, I hear what your saying and believe me brother, this was a difficult decision given the fact that I actually do like my Rav4. Especially after all the mods I did to it to make it my own… I will definitely not be trading this car in anytime soon…this vehicle will be with me for many many...

    Trading my 2013 Toyota Rav4 ltd for a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L V6 ---- Thoughts????

    No I haven't driven the new Camry yet….they just doesn't appeal to me the way the newer accords do. not sure really why that is…. especially being a toyota customer for so long. Anyways, i was able to test drive a few of them today although I wasn't able to drive a manual yet… as they...
