The happiest little Mazdaspeed 3! LS1tech member (SOMformula) contacted me to come out to Sac and do his girlfriend's new MazdaSpeed 3. It was in fairly good condition being so new, but had some special dealer-applied wash induced swirls. There was also some buffer trails and holograms from a bumper repaint that was done.
A 1 step correction was selected and resulted in ~85% removal of swirls and light scratches. The paint was sealed with 2 coats of Zaino (Z5pro followed by Z2pro). Wheels and exhaust were sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal.
Upon arrival, on a very warm Sacramento day...
Some swirls...
Holograms and buffer trails...
Very dirty exhaust tips
After correction and 2 coats of Zaino followed by a Z6 wipedown.
Metal flake just popping!
BIG smile after she had a nice rub-down.
Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks!
On the wheels and tips it will last about 2 months since its subject to extreme heat, and as long as you use a safe pH balanced wheel cleaner. May not seem like a long time, but it takes less than 30 seconds to do a wheel. Lasts about 3 months on paint.

Nice job!
And I get the impression that you didn't make this thread so stupid people could tell you how ugly and stupid your car is...I'm so sick of seeing that.
Personally they're not my #1 choice but I think they still look pretty cool-I like the hood!

Thank you! It doesn't bother me if people think its ugly though. Its definitely a love-it or hate-it car. But they ARE fun to drive and somehow looking at them makes you smile too (or laugh). So its a win-win. Not Charlie Sheen win, but still win.
nice work..as always
