It has been sometime since my last detailing write-up so I thought it was time to post one even though it was a small detail. This detail was part of a facebook giveaway for the Illmotion Sunday School Show & Shine 2014. The winner received my Exterior Protection detail.
Here we have a 1991 Mazda Miata. Overall the vehicle was in pretty good shape with minor scuffs but it was evident that the vehicle has not been detailed in sometime. My detailer OCD kicked in on this one because I couldn't stand how dirty the single stage paint was. I decided to throw in a polished hood into this detail to see how much clarity would be revealed.
