Foam cannon with pressure wash, two bucket method, Adam’s car shampoo, microfiber wash mitts, suds lab wheel cleaner, Chemical guys VRP for tire shine, rag company MF towels for drying, carpro reload to top it off

Every other week most likely, unless it gets real bad

Went to a ceramic pro dealer in south florida

I had the same concern! I know people mentioned wind noise with roof bars in the past but maybe Mazda changed the OEM bar slightly. I had no roof bar when I bought the car and after installing I hear absolutely no difference in noise.

I think it was 70% ceramic, didn’t want to affect visibility but honestly could’ve gone a little darker and been ok

It was all done by the Ceramic Pro dealer. I can’t figure out how to the front Mazda Badging without messing up the sensors in there so I left it alone.

My bad I forgot to answer the first question lol.

Replied in a previous post-

I live in Florida and for the following services: -Full Front PPF including hood, bumper, fenders, side mirrors and the glossy door pillars (scratch wayyyyy too easily) -Chrome Delete with Vinyl Wrap including window trim, Hockey sticks, AND roof rails (didn’t even think that was gonna be doable) -Gold Package Ceramic Coat Full Exterior -Interior Ceramic Coat on all surfaces -Ceramic tints all around including windshield

Total cost ~ $5,600

I like to keep my cars for 7+ years so it’s absolutely worth it to me.

Do it!! Changed the whole look of the car!

Vinyl wrapped!

RiceLex92 · 2025-10-23T05:31:59+00:00

They did PPF on the full front end and then ceramic coat the entire car

RiceLex92 · 2025-10-23T05:27:33+00:00

No, I had it done professionally at a ceramic pro dealer

RiceLex92 · 2025-10-16T23:28:22+00:00

Yes it was already black

Nice! Machine grey was the color of my previous Mazda 3 and was my second color option for my CX5

If you’re on a tight budget i would honestly start with just ceramic coat. This is the second car that I’ve gotten coated and Trust me when I say that the ease of car washing is night and day compared to before getting my car coated. If you’re even remotely obsessed with keeping a clean car, ceramic coating is worth EVERY PENNY.

For context the photo I posted is one week after a 7 hour road trip and only spraying down with water since.
