Hi, I own a '94 model NA in "Crystal White." As is well known, this particular shade of white was problematic back in the day (Single Stage)

Unexpectedly paint hasn't started flaking off in chunks yet, but the coating on the side mirrors is so thin that the primer is showing through. (I actually made it a bit worse by using compound on them at first, thinking the spots were just stains)

+The paint had dents and numerous scratches; the surface had also become almost completely dull.

Since this was the first time I’ve ever attempted a job like this, I assume I probably made some mistakes along the way but still worth to share so someone could take some notes :) I would like to hear my mistakes and your advices as well.

Here are the products I used and the order in which I used them:

1- Meguiar's Gold Class Car Shampoo with a Chemical Guys wash mitt

2- Meguiar's clay bar and spray lubricant

3- Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with an SPTA orange pad

4- Meguiar's Ultimate Polish with a Griot's orange pad

5- Griot's 3-in-1 Spray Ceramic Wax

\+ A bunch of Kirkland microfiber towels

Hi, a guy in my area getting out of hobby. He is selling all of his batteries and chargers and I need them.

He said no bad cells but I still expect at least 3 bad batteries. Some batteries are brand new, never used.

Probably will sell extra chargers since I already have one. Not sure how much to offer.

Hi, anyone cruising around Chicago? I’d like to know some fellow miata owners
