We are here today for this Mazda CX-5. Its been a year since it was last treated with any form of car care. We are expecting a little more work today to restore the car to its showroom state.

Upon arrival, we did our standard walk around the car to inspect for any obvious damages.

Overall, the car looked okay from a distance, but when we looked closer...

We spotted some quite severe damages.

As we rinsed the car. the water just was not beading on the surface, this indicates the paint had no protection at all.

The paint was quite swirled up on multiple panels around the car.

We spent quite a little time washing the car to get it clean and we started the paint restoration.

The previous severe scuff on the fender was successfully restored.

We were able to remove all the swirls from the paint.
