Chase@InsanePaint Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) This client came to me by way of following my FaceBook page. I had never worked on one of these little FWD rockets before. Pretty damn cool car to be honest!! However, it was a prime example of how things can RAPIDLY harm your car. Even though it was a 2013, and only had 12k miles. The lack of protection, and use of automatic car washes, quickly wrecked this car's curb appeal. Here's how the salavation went down: -Vacuum Interior -Stains on rear seats removed with Adam's Carpet/Upholstery cleaner & Adam's Utility Towel -Dash, doors, instrument panel, etc. Handled with Adam's Total Interior Detailer, Adam's Utility Towel, and fine brushes, along with Adam's Detail Spray on the shiny parts -Engine bay soaked with Adam's APC, lightly scrubbed with Adam's Boars Hair Brush, then rinsed & blow dry with MetroVac Sidekick -Wheels cleaned with Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner & Adam's Turbo Stick -Tires & wheel wells scrubbed with Adam's APC -Pressure Wash car to knock off surface dirt -Foam cannon soak with MTM Hydro containing Adam's Car Wash Shampoo (3oz.) & Adam's Waterless Wash (2oz), rest of the 32oz. cannister filled with water -Full 2-bucket wash with Adam's Car Wash Shampoo & Adam's APC to strip existing protection -Rinse & leave car wet for clay bar process -Adam's Clay Bar & Adam's Great White Drying Towel & Adam's Detail Spray -Corrected with Rupes LHR21 Bigfoot, Adam's Orange Pad, & Adam's Correction Polish -Pulled car out to rinse compound dust -Polished with Adam's Finishing Polish & Adam's White Pad -Nourish engine bay with Adam's In/Out Spray, SVRT milk, & Adam's SVRT -Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray in wheel wells -Alcohol 70/30 mix wipedown -Apply Adam's Quick Sealant -Wipe down car with Adam's Waterless Wash to discharge static -Layer on Adam's Americana Paste Wax -All tires, plastic, and rubber fed with Adam's SVRT -Final inspection done with Adam's Detail Spray & Adam's Double Soft Towel BEFORE DOIN' WORK PAINT BEFORE POLISHING DURING POLISHING AFTER CORRECTION, BUT BEFORE FINISHING POLISH AFTERS Hope you enjoyed!

Chase@InsanePaint Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 LOL. Thanks gentlemen. I didn't find this paint to "abnormally" soft....? Definitely NOT the hardest clear I've ever worked, but I wouldn't say it was OVERLY soft. I appreciate the kudos boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveVY Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Nice work! Wonder if Mazda has the same clear on that Mazdaspeed3 as they do on my Mazda6? Mook/Chris once said that the Mazda6 clear is so soft that if you sneeze it gets a swirl! And I have to agree, looks great when polished though.

The Ryan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Mazda and Hyundai have been the softest clears I've ever worked with.. Great work bud! I liked the MS3 but the 'Murican was the only way to go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YIMBROKE Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Great work, i love these cars. Almost traded my ss in on one but didn't want to drive manual daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCurse Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) The Rupes seems to be garnering a strong following here... What say you owners? I resent the orange tree comment Mook as my SS has that look! I happen to think it looks lovely Lol. My clear seems darn soft (the SS). Chase, micro pads or foam? Edit: Chase, micro or foam used during your Mazda correction I mean? Edited June 14, 2013 by IrishCurse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
