Finally had to say goodbye to my 2003 Mazda 6S. Over the past year I'd been looking at various vehicles in the compact SUV category. I'd considered the Volvo XC-40 but in the end the CX-30 won out. So much bang for the buck it can't be beat. For me it's just right. The new automotive tech, satellite radio, plus the ride handling are great. But having a new car brings out the OCD in me and I see every little scratch, water spot, or paint swirl and it can make me a little crazy. Haha, but that'll fade as I just enjoy the ride.

I bought the premium, polymetal gray metallic, FWD.

Congrats, I like the look of the Polymetal on the CX-30.

Same car Mr. Scott! Detail fanatic here. Lot car was out on there for months. Not expecting Euro premium paint. Clay bar much? Polish and wax? Just how good is this paint and how long until we tackle the job? How good can we make these cars GLOW?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new Mazda. I traded in my 2014 Mazda 3 when I bought the CX30. Happy motoring from Thailand.

Be thankful you didn't get black. My last two cars were black and never again.

The sad thing is you can't drive a car without getting dings, nicks, spots, and dirt oh well enjoy driving it that's what you bought it for just do the best you can.
