32 Year Old Mazda Miata Exterior Detail! | Wash & Polishing

- It's time to give this neglected MX-5 Mazda Miata a MUCH needed Exterior Detail! So today's I walk you through my DEEP CLEAN detailing process and how to restore this oxidized single stage paint! From a satisfying Foam Wash to Machine Polishing, this Miata will be GLOSSY in no time!
We've made a lot of progress on this Miata, and this exterior detail will be the cherry on top! In the previous videos, we detailed the engine bay to perfection and restored the interior to a VERY clean state. The exterior was last on my list and I was hoping we could give this the transformation it deserves. Auto detailing is one of my skill sets and I knew with a little bit of deep cleaning and polishing, we could get this Miata polished like a pearl.
We start the detail with giving the car it's first wash in YEARS (probably). A Full Foam Cannon wash with plenty of scrubbing and cleaning of the convertible soft top. The paint was treated with an all purpose cleaner and fallout remover to break down the contaminates from sitting for so long. From there the paint was washed and clayed to give it a smooth look and feel.
Now, early 90's Miata's are notorious for faded and chalky single stage paint. Machine polishing is really the BEST way to restore and make it look new again. I machine polished using Last Cut Compound with a series of pads to knock down the oxidation. From there, I used touch up paint and made my way around the car to fix any unsightly chips/scratches. The Miata was then topped off with Opti-Coat Hyper Seal which is a long term paint sealant. Overall, I think the Miata had a huge transformation!

Thanks man. I probably care a little too much about detailing haha
@ALLDAYANTHONY absolutely not im always already with keeping my vehicles clean just never got to that level but I'm learning alot from your content specially the red civic one day my 98 will get close lol
You do some awesome work. I wish we were on the same side of the state. I'd hire you to help with my car.

What product did you use for the trim at the bottom of the windshield, does it stay glossy after rain? I have to keep redoing my sideskirt and windshield trim everytime it rains. The Miata looks beautiful !
I used Koch chemie PSS. It’ll stay looking like that for a few months
Very clean work
Thanks dude!
Very good video, very instructive 👍🏻👍🏻
Pretty clean 👍
Thanks! I think so too!
most better than before! great job on this one
Thanks for watching ❤️
This is awesome! Really hope to see some Grom content again, miss em but love the way your channels been going!
I’ll have to dust off the Grom one of these days
For a car you didn't know what to do with it, you sure know what you're doing.
Lmao, it really does seem like that doesn’t it
Came out great!
Thanks dude!
Clean and Shiny
Good job man!
Thank you!
You’re killing me. I have a ‘94 laguna blue and tan with 16k miles sitting in a storage unit. Need to get it going again
What product did you up using on the trim and the wipers? It came out good! What did you do after?
Very nice detail! 👍
Thank you! Turned out awesome
I am going to buy my own white Miata. I hope i will able to make her as great as yours. Greetings from Poland!
Old is Gold but Glossy too❤
Love from Pakistan ❤🇵🇰
Busted out the ol’ PC 🔥
Never let’s me down
6:46 realest fucking shit ever said 😂 cars to me are like a pet, responsibilities, u gotta take care of it, have fun with it, maintenance, payments and a goddamn wash ever so often.
Hi, well done, what’s trim restorer did you use for wiper cowls? Thanks
I used Koch chemie PSS
Amazing job I wish I could do this to my miata but my paint is so thin.
Been looking forward to this video and you delivered 🤙
If it’s too thin than it’s not worth it
Also… is that the OG optimum clay towel?? Couldn’t help but notice the smaller size and darker color.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS CONTENT GOT A LITTLE INTENSE @0:28 LMFMAO GREAT DISTRACTION FOR THE WEEK LIKE I MENTION BEFORE IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND ALL THAT HARD WORK THAT WOULD BRING THIS MIATA AN 9O% MAKE OVER GLOW SHE CAME OUT NICE MAN WILL THERE STILL BE MORE CONTENT ON THIS OR WILL THERE BE A FOR SALE SIGN ON IT FOR FUTURE PART ?? KEEP IT UP BROTHER THANKS ANTHONY ✌🏼OUT
Thanks Noah! I think it turned out pretty damn good
Got a clean example of a Miata now. I’d be tempted to start putting money in it 😂
Haha right? Great starting point now
Need more rsx videos pls
They are coming don’t worry :)
lets go!
Thanks for watching man!
WAKE UP HE POSTED
Some people still sleeping but that’s ok
Looks damn good. That back window would bug me tho, did you try polishing it ?
I did, unfortunately the staining was on the inside and there wasn’t much I could do
Is it the camera or is the hood a whiter shade thank the fenders?
I noticed that too. Not sure why other than if it was resprayed
@@ALLDAYANTHONY wonder if the hood was replaced and that was the closest color they could find. What polishing compound were you using?
What's the future plans for the Miata? Are you going to sell it?
We’ll see
I just knew what was under the sticker 😂
Haha just the worst!
🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
How much gsf did you use in your foam canon?
Roughly 150ml
17.04 what polisher please. I'm needing a small one 😂
That’s the rupes ibrid nano
Anyone know a good intake for a civic ? looking for one I don’t know what is alright or best
AEM, injen, and DC sport are great
Fuck a Miata I want to see the RSX
man please dont get rid of it, even if you have to store it just keep it
yuhh
I was waiting for the buffing of the sealant and then realized it isn't required with Opt Hyper Seal.😅
Haha yep, basically wipe on wipe off
All that work and you forgot the rear window. That would look way better polished out
They were stains on the inside. Not much I could do other than wipe it down. Material was too soft to machine polish
💪🧼
Not first :(
So close though!
had one of these people hype up miatas but it was a really disappointing car tbh
They are great cars imo. Very driver focused
