Black Mazda 2 - TNCC

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would share:

This weekend I tackled this little Mazda 2.
The owner previously thought he would polish the car himself (Props to him for giving it a go atleast). He said he used Armor All Polish? and worked on it in the garage. He was saying how he thought it looked great but then when he reversed it out into the sun he noticed what he had just done (I'm not so sure I would of wanted to see his reaction). The car had 20,000kms on it so fairly new. On first appearance I was shocked as to the damage that had been caused.

The Mazda paint was ridiculously low & the paint was sticky. Being black wasn't helping. I advised the customer straight away that due to the thin amount of paint I may not be able to remove all swirls/marks & achieve a 100% correction.

Here is how the day progressed:

This was of the roof, the rest of the car was much the same, never getting a reading over 100microns

Did the customer polish the car with Armour all and sandpaper? Far out that looked so bad before you worked your magic. Excellent result!

yeah, did he use a dirty rag or something to polish the car? I'm a tightass, I've been using Turtle Wax hardshell to polish my MPS, for the price that stuff is great.

Hi Guys, Sorry for the late reply, He actually did use armorall polish, applying by hand with a dirty rag and moving in circular motions resulting in the finish seen prior to our detail.
