    Default Watch those elbows!!!

    Undertook the day today to pamper my car with the whole detailing thing...

    Did half the claying of the roof then sat back for a breather...

    to my horror 4x small indentations on the roof on the side i was claying...
    figured that the indentations came when i was leaning on my elbows when reaching for the centre of the roof....

    anyway just a tip for newbies like myself...watch where those elbows go...

    Yeah mate.

    Mazda 3 roofs are very soft in both the Gen 1 and Gen 2.

    In the Gen 2 more than the Gen 1 the bonnets are particularly soft too.

    I use this guy to remove dents for me in Perth, he's also rolled my rear guards! Does a great job and you can never tell where the dent was Most dents that he can get access to the inside panel are removed without a trace. For the roof it would mean removing the interior trim.

    Don't know who would be there in Vic though.
