Hey all, I've been working on winterizing my '05 Mazda3 for the past couple weeks. The only before picture I have is of one of the wheels. The OEM pads dust a lot so I thought it'd be good to see before/after shots. Also, I did a half/half shot of the drivers seat. One half is before and one half is after an application of Meg's Detailer Line Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (thanks to Justin for getting me hooked on this great product!!!).

You'll notice that some pictures are in sun and some are not. I took pictures (3 different times) over a 2-day period so that's why there is a difference.

Process:
-Wash w/NXT
-Clay w/Meg's Clay & DP 4-in-1 as lube
-Polish with PB SSR1 & white LC pad
-Klasse AIO
-Klasse SG x2
-PB Natty's Blue x2
-Meg's High Endurance on tires
-PB Wheel Sealant
-Meg's NXT Glass Cleaner
-Meg's Quick Interior Detailer
-Meg's Detailer Line Leather Cleaner & Conditioner
-ClearKote Quik Shine for final wipe-down

Great job...

You take excellent car photos... I can never seem to get the right shots, but I'll use yours for my inspiration next time..... (And I'll drive to a nice open area like you have)

Good work!
 
Nice job..from the pics you paid attention to every detail..your hard work paid off :applause:
 
Looks great. I can't believe the difference on the seats. I also liked the cloud reflection shots. Too Cool.
 
Great job! Very nice pics. Love the 2 pics with the sun setting low, and the nice glow you get on the car. Nice reflection shots and the wheels/tires look sharp.
 
mshu7, what a outstanding job you done. Very nice cam shots too. Great review on products. Its hard to say which pic I liked the best. Maybe the hood/ headlight shot.
Awesome detail!:awesome:
 
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful job here all kinds of shine and great reflections going on here...............Love the shot from the back seat (creative) and the sun going down shot from the back, you do take some NICE photos. Good job!
 
Thanks for all the compliments!!! I've really tried to pay attention to some of the good photography on here and other sites. Luckily, that park that I took the majority the pictures at is right around the corner and is loaded with trees around it.

Since my wife & I are on vacation this week (working around the house), I have yet to take the Mazda3 out of the garage since those pictures. It's been raining every since then so I can't bare the though of it getting rained on right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be clear so MAYBE I'll take it out then...LOL!

Again, thanks for all the kind words!
 
Looks great! It might get up to 60 on Sunday. Nice day for a drive, considering the weather here lately. Don't stay out long Bears @ noon!
 
trl, I take it you're from Indiana? If you are, you're probably sick of all this rain like I am. 3 straight days of rain.

You can bet I won't miss the Bears game! They need to redeem themselves after the Monday night game. lol
