Mazda 3 Detailed

Ever wonder how good are those inexpensive buffers from Sears and other places? look no further

This entire car was covered with Swirl Marks. They did a fantastic job decorating the entire car.

Just a sample

headlights

I'd like to know what you used on the headlight covers.
My daily driver, always parked outside Honda is starting to show its age after 10 yrs use.
I can appreciate the hard work you put in on these cars. My son took my old 912 from this:



to this, but only after three days of really dirty, hard work:
