    So I decided the give my new to me '06 MX5 a full on cleaning. The car only has 19K miles on it, but defintiely saw it's fair share of automatic car washes as evidenced by the heavy swirl marks in the paint. The undercarriage and engine bay are super clean. I don't think it was driven in the rain.

    Thanks to the guys over at Detailers Domain. They have some great demo vids on their site and they give great advice and great prices.


    The Cleaning Process:

    Adam's Wheel cleaner on wheels and tires dressed with Adam's VRT
    Home Depot Foam Gun with Costco Powerwasher and Optimum Car Wash Car Wash Soap
    Detailers Domain's Grey Drying towel (just picked one up, I like, very plush/soft)
    Uber Blue Clay bar for most of the car, Adam's Grey Clay for the heavy soiled areas w/ Adam's Detail Spray
    Leatherique for seats
    1Z einszett Cockpit on plastics
    RaggTop Cleaner for Fabric roof with Swissvax Brush
    Adams Metal Polish on exhaust tips (done after pics were taken)

    2 Step Polishing:

    Step 1: FLEX Random Orbit Polisher with Green Application pad and Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut Compound

    Step 2: FELX Random Orbit Polisher with Blue Application pad and Menzerma Final Polish

    Sealed with Menzerma Full Molecular Jacket (new product is call Powerlock)


    Onto the Photos (DISCLAIMER: my camera sucks and I suck at photography)
