Mazda 3 OptiGuard by Hamza7
 
Hey All,

This past weekend I did a members 2012 Mazda 3, this has only been on the road for 2.5 weeks but as you can see even brand new cars need some of my lovin'.

Also meet my new Partner in Crime (PiC) - Josh the Pinoy

Process for my New Car Prep + Opti Guard package is as follows

-> Thorough Wash
-> Signature 4 Step Decontamination
-> Polish to make sure the paint is ever so glossy
-> Opti Guard Prep
-> Opti Guard Installation (Wax or Sealant substitute available, price discount will apply)


We started with the nitty gritty - The Wheels

We then did a uber luxero foam path, to soften up whatever might have caught on the surface (Bird Bombs, mud, general dirt etc...)

Followed by our scratch free hand wash using two buckets

Starting the signature 4 step decontamination (Pictures only of claying)

We dried it and brought it into the garage for polishing

Now this is hard to see but the right side is polished and the side side is not

In this picture that panel is fully polished
