Had the pleasure to detail a black Mazda Miata. It belongs to a forum member who only likes to drive it on the weekend. It sits outside so it had more water spotting than it did swirls, and a little bit of oxidation, but not too much. Dropped it off this morning @ 9:30 and stuck around for bit and talked cars while I cleaned and washed it up before polishing. He was only interested in a light polishing, so I went with the all favorite Menzerna 106ff with a variety of pads, from 7.5 to 4'', to make sure all areas received a good exfoliation. Loved it. Good intial cut and bite which quickly finished almost glaze like. Zaino Z2pro followed which left the paint sparkling.

Enough talk and more walk!

Nice job. The owner must be thrilled.

Nice work joy, great correction for a one step. That interior looks real nice, never seen one like that.

Yea, like I said, its really only driven on the weekends and based on the amount of waterspots it had I assume it wasn't washed weekly, so there was little wash induced swirling and marring.

I'm sure it looks 100x's better in real life, but i think you should upgrade your camera or photo skills no offense its still a crazy detail job..

Tell me about it. I use a point and shoot Sony Cybershot. If I had a DSLR, trust me, I'd be ghost here on E90post. I'd be reading and practicing taking shots all day.

Not many settings for me to choose from. Even its manual mode, only gives you little options. No slower shutter speeds, nothing.

Nice work! I'm not a huge fan of Miatas, but that's a good-looking car.

The owner really loves it actually. Low torque aside, he feels it drives a million times better than his 335i.
