2006 Mazda 3 *lots of pics*

[ritchic]

Well what I thought was going to be an easy job turned out to be a lot more work than I thought. The car is less than a year old but it was a mess!! Paint didn't have a lot of swirls but was very dirty and the interior was a disaster!!! But I will let the pics do the talking thanks for taking a look



Process:

Exterior

Wash ONR

Pressure washer on the wheel wells

Clay bar (Meguiers)

Poli-seal

Opti-seal

Meguires Gold Class Endurance Tire shine

Orange Greased lightning on engoine bay then 303 protectant

Interior

Vacuumed for what felt like 20 hours Mazda has carpet that just wont let things go with out a fight!

Steamed interior parts that were caked with some sticky stuff (old coffee I think)

LGM on carpets and floors as required

Spray 303 protectant



BEFORE Shots





She must live in a construction zone this dirt was every where!

AFTER Shots

I washed it down with the the pressure washer first just to get it nice and wet and followed with ONR and dried it with a MF towel

Now that is one nice clean-up job. I bet the owner was floored.

Huge improvement! :up



That carpet is exactly why I'd never own a Mazda3. I have a custmer with one just like that (but beige interior) and same deal with the crappy carpet.

Yeah she was very happy but now she wants me to clean her dads van and she only wants the interior done...I can only imagine what will be like :wall

I can atest to the Mazda carpet. Its just horrible and pretty cheap. What was the best way to get stuff out of that type of carpet?
