I don't have nor do I know how to polish...it needs it, though. Even after clay there were several contaminants still present in the paint visible to the naked eye.

Was not today, but last Sunday did a whole wash, clay, and wax. Was the first since purchasing back in March. Chemical Guys wash with foam gun, Meguiars clay, Turtle Wax Seal & Shine. Photo taken before the clay and wax:

Very basic upgrade today: changed out the OEM incandescent dome and trunk lights for LEDs. Seems trivial but a is a nice upgrade!

Yes, I'll do benign cosmetic mods and things like that. Unlikely that I'll do any power mods for the time being since I'm still learning how to drive it. I've already installed the Cravenspeed Stubby antenna and Flyin' Miata smoked corner markers (visible in the 3rd photo above), and have the...

I haven't done any coatings yet. I am looking to get PPF for the full front end but it's tough to get any quotes right now with the current state of affairs with COVID. BBS/Brembo package includes the appearance package front, side, and rear underbody spoilers as well as the top rear trunk lid...

Hi all, I'm a recently new owner (purchased a couple weeks ago). I'm new to Miatas and new to manual transmissions altogether, but I'm having a great time learning the ropes. Here are a few photos of the new member of the family: On purchase day: After the white knuckle drive home (from...

No glamour shots yet as I have yet to pick up the car, but here's just a quick pic that the salesman took of me and the car after signing the papers.

Well I'm now the proud owner of a new Soul Red 2019 MX-5 RF Club with BBS/Brembo package. I was in the market for a few months, and finally pulled the trigger last Friday. I couldn't pass up the deal that this not-so-local dealer was offering. I don't know how to drive stick...so I better...

I daily a 2016 CX-5. I like it so much that it's brought me to seriously considering buying an ND2 as a 3rd car. Our other car is a minivan (young family of 4). I would probably daily the Miata in Spring through Fall, and go back to the CX-5 during the typically mild-but-wet D.C. winters. I...

I do not use any products on the soft plastic on the interior. If you go to Medcenter Mazda and look up the trim piece, they describe the problem: http://www.mazdaparts.org/mazda-cx5-audio-plate.html "Is the cover peeling off the edges on your 2016 Mazda CX-5 Audio Panel? If so replace it...

I got this mailer as well. It says, underlined, right in the first paragraph: If you are a recipient of this notice, your vehicle is included in Special Service Program (SSP) A6. I'll take it in, since this is a safety issue. I also have a recall on the tailgate, so I wouldhave liked to have...

No, there is no way to activate the live traffic rerouting on the 2016 nav system. Mazda has pretty much punted on that function with no indication of ever reinstating it.

This issue has come up several times of the forum with similar battle cries of "contact Mazda and show them we're upset!" Every time, the result has been the same - Mazda shrugs us off and tells us they don't owe us anything and sorry for the inconvenience, blah blah blah. It's not coming...

Our insurance went up $150/yr, coming from a Honda Fit.

Certainly interesting. I'd prefer they just get whatever was working previous working (Choice #1). #2 and #3 do not interest me in the least. The HD traffic map is next to useless, and dangerous to use while driving (having to go to Apps menu, launch the app, and use a freakin' magnifying...

I get that comment too. Might be because of the "best Red in the business" paired together with the 2016 black GT rims. It's a pretty slick look, even though it's a CUV.

I am just outside DC (Rockville, Montgomery County). We're forcasted for 24-30". That would definitely be the most snow I've ever seen, and I lived through the Blizzard of '96 and Snowmageddon 2010. As for the CX-5: Got an oil change yesterday and full tank of gas. That said I will be...

That will pay for your first 2 tanks of gas! (drive)

Have you test driven them? No one can predict how you will perceive each vehicle's road noise and comfort. Obviously, you are on a Mazda forum. The owners who post here will have already decided that road noise/comfort were adequate for their needs, or they would not have purchased the car.

Complaints fall on deaf ears. In not so many words, the response I'm getting is, "We're never to offer this feature, get over it."
