Basic Detail in Lake Norman, Cornelius – 2024 Mazda CX-5
The Problem
A Lake Norman homeowner wanted their new Mazda CX-5 cleaned up before holiday guests arrived. The Soul Red paint had lost its luster under a film of lake-area pollen and road dust, bird droppings had etched into the hood, and the interior just needed a general freshening up after a few months of ownership.
Our Process
- Gentle pre-soak to soften bird droppings without paint damage
- Foam cannon wash with focus on pollen and dust removal
- Hand wash and careful dry with premium microfiber
- Spray wax to restore gloss to Soul Red paint
- Wheel and tire cleaning with tire gel dressing
- Interior vacuum, wipe-down, and glass cleaning
- Light fragrance application for a fresh cabin feel
The Results
The CX-5's stunning Soul Red paint was back to its vibrant best, with the bird droppings carefully removed without any etching damage. The quick spray wax gave the paint a brilliant wet look that popped in the sunlight. The interior was tidy and smelled great — the perfect way to impress the holiday visitors pulling into the driveway.
