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!
I hope you dig the content! Here's some helpful links of the products I used in the video.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

If it’s too thin than it’s not worth it

[@kristofferpence]

[@VicVoss]

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Haha right? Great starting point now

[@NOAHCASAS]

[@mathewpalakudiyil6893]

What product did you up using on the trim and the wipers? It came out good! What did you do after?

[@SuperCruzito1978]

🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@Gabes_P99]

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 !

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I used Koch chemie PSS. It’ll stay looking like that for a few months

[@CloudzNCars]

WAKE UP HE POSTED

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Some people still sleeping but that’s ok

[@SlowDelSol]

I just knew what was under the sticker 😂

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Haha just the worst!

[@kristofferpence]

Also… is that the OG optimum clay towel?? Couldn’t help but notice the smaller size and darker color.

[@sk8ordie4691]

Looks damn good. That back window would bug me tho, did you try polishing it ?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I did, unfortunately the staining was on the inside and there wasn’t much I could do

[@AlanNoMoney]

Need more rsx videos pls

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

They are coming don’t worry :)

[@aldrinmariano7853]

Hi, well done, what’s trim restorer did you use for wiper cowls? Thanks

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I used Koch chemie PSS

[@dylandominic]

How much gsf did you use in your foam canon?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Roughly 150ml

[@Granferch]

yuhh

[@nxt_richard]

Anyone know a good intake for a civic ? looking for one I don’t know what is alright or best

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

AEM, injen, and DC sport are great

[@DuanDao]

Is it the camera or is the hood a whiter shade thank the fenders?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I noticed that too. Not sure why other than if it was resprayed

[@DuanDao]

@@ALLDAYANTHONY wonder if the hood was replaced and that was the closest color they could find. What polishing compound were you using?

[@WorkzGarage]

What's the future plans for the Miata? Are you going to sell it?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

We’ll see

[@Crazzycarguy]

17.04 what polisher please. I'm needing a small one 😂

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

That’s the rupes ibrid nano

[@rsxfreak79]

I was waiting for the buffing of the sealant and then realized it isn't required with Opt Hyper Seal.😅

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Haha yep, basically wipe on wipe off

[@vamazeyXD]

man please dont get rid of it, even if you have to store it just keep it

[@jonnyjonnyyespapa8013]

All that work and you forgot the rear window. That would look way better polished out

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

They were stains on the inside. Not much I could do other than wipe it down. Material was too soft to machine polish

[@JamieTheCleaner]

💪🧼

[@KseriesKyle]

Not first :(

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

So close though!

[@TheFlyguy217]

Fuck a Miata I want to see the RSX

[@tyhyhh]

had one of these people hype up miatas but it was a really disappointing car tbh

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

They are great cars imo. Very driver focused
