This video saved one Mazda 3 from being scrapped. Now just to deal with the corrosion. 220k miles without engine issue, only front shocks have been replaced.

[@alexmilkis3654]

What a stunning turnaround!!

[@melvinjonesjr911]

Great job guys and awesome video. And you’re so right man it is something very special about those cars and they were a pure pleasure to drive. You can really feel and connect with those cars! They don’t make them like that anymore!

[@StaufferGarage]

Sadly... they don't. I feel sad for people that never tried them or even learned to drive on cars of that era. So much more feel, noise, and pure fun to drive. Im all for newer turbo cars that haul absolute a** but there is just something about these cars with the ability to rev and wring them out without getting into stupid trouble.

[@jordanfessler9664]

My first 3 care were stick and you are so right. Just a whole different world now with everything going to self driving.

Amazing, bummed your are in my area - awesome work quality/ethic!

[@Graham_Langley]

Interesting to see the differences between this and the UK version, known as the Mazda 3 Sport - the useful under-floor boot/trunk storage is missing for example. And yes, you are right about the driving experience of cars from this era. Bought my '06 one at three years old and now (Dec 2023) it's both the oldest car I've owned and the one I have kept for the longest. See no reason to move on and taking it past 20 years old is tempting.

[@nicolashughes9551]

I prefer stick….it takes a boring slow car and just makes it more fun to drive. Even cars with under 200 hp. Currently drive a 2013 Suzuki SX4 2.0 with a Six Speed Manual and it makes that 150hp(from factory I’m sure I’ve lost some over the years) COME ALIVE. Before the SX4, owned a Fiat 500 and same thing, 101 hp felt like so much more. Im all for saving the manuals but sadly the US mostly wants Suvs, trucks and crossovers and Automatics ☹️😭😢 Great job on the car as always and I’m out of Mint Shine so I’ll be ordering more sometime soon!!

[@Itsalittleknownfact]

Awesome video man!! But don’t forget to give those seatbelts a good scrub as well!

Here in South Africa manuals are nothing special. Majority of vehicles in SA are manuals. Automatic options are becoming more popular choice though. Great transformation btw 😁

[@heatherrobertson8835]

So reassuring to hear that, I know Europe is still very manual. I had to wait ages for my manual to be shipped to Australia but worth the wait.

[@Nick-wk2xo]

I myself have a 07 mazda 3, but sadly it's not an automatic. Looks great and always a nice surprise to see your own car haha

[@SteveGergetz]

Wow, what an amazing transformation! I actually really appreciate this video. Two important questions though... 1) How many hours of your time were consumed for all of the cleaning and detailing you did in this video? 2) Isn't it a risk to spray liquid in and around the various buttons and controls on the dash? The radio, the HVAC, the turn signals, ignition, and all kinds of other buttons and controls...seems like at least some of that liquid MUST have seeped back behind the buttons, and possibly into the electrical contacts behind them...especially when compressed air follows after the liquid + wipe-off sequence. Thoughts?

[@rob052771]

The Mazda 3 is a great car, my daughter owns one and I love it! Amazing job as usual Stauffer...I am wondering if you could post a video with paint correction, it is something that I have just started doing and could use some tips as I don't want to burn through clearcoat or paint....

[@mariomcmichael3230]

Drove a Manuel car for the first time ever about 2 years ago....Scion It was different but kinda cool once I got the hang of it Where did you find the smaller brushes you used to clean the spare tire and trunk accessories with?...also I think you used one for the upholstery design

[@AgentKevin007]

What vacuums are you using?

[@CampsitePyro]

Would a dehumidifier assist with drying out the seats?

[@iqbalgill149]

Suggestion/question: Why don't you pressure wash the carpet floor mats and the trunk cover thing after vacuuming and then suck up what's left behind after squeezing out the excess water? I've tried it for various customers and works really well.

[@rusjun5]

This was my first car. I loved it even though it was beat to hell. Wished it had more HP. I miss it everyday

I’m not a fan of the original Tornador….I use brushes and air only as a general rule. But if I grab a Tornador, I use the blow gun version with no chemical reservoir which is great to blow sand and dog hair out of the carpet fibers….even better when paired with the velocity vac attachment. It’s a bit comber some with the vac attachment but it does work great.
