Just for the record, no, I don't have an infant that has an odd skin pigmentation problem. Anyhoo...

I took some pics for the heck of it, and thought of posting it here. On everyone's advice, I washed, dried, clayed, buffed, waxed the car today, and it took me about 7 hours and change.

The kit I got (mothers) from Cdn tire came with the necessary chemicals, and I have to admit it looks pretty sharp/reflective.

very nice.

Using Clay is the best thing you can do for your paint. Try to do it in the spring and in the fall. At least every spring.

Wow, you know what....I wasn't big on the Phantom Blue for the Sport, but it works really well on the sedan.

I don't see what is so "phantom" about that colour.

when i was gonna get my car i asked for phantom blue, cause I expected something close to Ami's car, like a really dark purpley blue.

turns out that is "electric blue"

And for "electric blue" I would expect more of a white/light blue colour..

mazda really needs some new people naming their colours.

either way, I agree this colour looks better on the sedan than the mini-van.. i mean hatch.
