Many Thanks to fellow racing forum member that I associate with for trusting his new 2017.5 Mazda 6 in my hands.
This super nice Mazda seems to have been one of the best finds for 2018. A brand new left over unit that seems to be to be fairly well loaded was picked up by him not long ago. I'm really impressed with the interior not just in design but in the quality of materials. As solid and refined as may BMW's of recent years. Very nice.
My customer brought it to me to prep and prepare for him to really have nothing more to do going forward than basic washes and an occasional wipe down with a detail spray that is included with my coating packages.
Full decontamination and prep revealed a lot of embedded particulates. No doubt from having sat outside in inventory. Nothing both a Nanomit and some iron remover couldn't make short work of.
Silver metallic isn't something easy to capture with a cell phone camera and even he admits that overall it's difficult to get it to really "POP!" like other darker colors, but in the end, it really nice and had the sun cooperated, the flake could have come out nicely.
So what was involved?
