What have you done to your MX-5 today? (Part 2)

I haven’t noticed any difference since fitting mine tbh

Where did you get the cobalt exhaust. They have stopped making them for a long time now

It was a used one from a member on this forum.

I was calling Moss Europe about the Cobalt since Nov 2020, they did say they had new already made but were waiting for them to be shipping. . .

Needless to say the cobalt + IL headers is still not loud and easy to live with day to day. No drone etc.

What oil did you go for?

Washed and then took her for a quick spin and this came up

Putting her away now while we go on holiday then she’s getting Dinitrolled within an inch of her life when we get back.


I tried, but failed…

It’s only that I bought this, which looks like the same oil but in different packaging and it made it worse. So thought maybe you bought the duratec mystery oil.

Wheels off for refurbishment and powder coating … all snug in the daily drive for drop of in the morning

These guys do great work

Guess the new toy?

DA Polisher???
Car’s Looking great btw, superb reflections on those images, very mirror like :ok_hand:t2:

Yeah that’s it. Bought one today. Much better than creating all those swirls with hand polish. Had to cover it up quickly as my neighbour decided to have a bonfire and that ash didn’t make it look as good. :joy:

camera :rofl:

And applied some toothpaste to the headlights. I saw a difference.

What compound, polish and wax / ceramic combo did you use? I’ve just bought the Halfords DA, and have some Maguires ultimate, not had chance to use it yet though :disappointed:

Yep that £35 buy is priceless for effect. I’m autogylm today.

Looks great! How long did it take to do the whole car?

30 min apply. 30 min buff. Next time I think I’ll take longer but that will be my OCD! Nearly started to do all the cars on the street!:joy:

Wow, that’s much quicker than I thought you were going to say! I’ve watched a few tutorials on YouTube, and figured it would take several hours. You work fast mate, hope I can achieve a similar effect :crossed_fingers:t2:

Luckily being 13 plate my car already has sound body and was prepped lovely when I bough it 7 months ago.
Send me your photos when you have a go please!
