Mazda 3 MPS – Black Mica
TREATMENT
- Wash & Decontamination
- Multi-Stage Paint Correction
- Opti-Coat Paint Protection
DESCRIPTION
This one is a return client. I corrected and sealed his black 2009 Mazda 3 MPS almost exactly this time last year (6th Nov 2011).
The sealant-based paint protection applied on the first visit lasted a good 11 months.
Only in the 12th month had it disappeared from the car. During this time the owner also had the front resprayed to repair a whole mess of stone chips.

These might look like the standard wheels but they are in fact 19" forged wheels from the Mazda RX8 GT. Quite light and reasonable rare. The standard MPS wheels are 18" and cast (heavier)
After rinse, foam, and two bucket wash
The car was pulled into the garage. There was only very light oxidation that had only come about in the last month since the sealant dissipated. I know this for certain as the bonnet, which was resprayed a month ago and never sealed, had about the same level of oxidation as the rest of the car. Again a testament to the sealant's durability. Buffer trails on the bonnet from the repair work
Light swirling, probably happening after the sealant died
Mirrors in quite good shape
The tailgate required a fair bit of work with some deep scratching where the badges had been removed and also from where the tail lights were tinted
Post-correction
Bonnet post-correction. A ceramic clear coat was used in the respray, so it was much harder than the standard clear
