as we have some more members,
I thought it would be good to pass on any tips to them.
to start the ball rolling here are three.
when washing car don't forget the rear door inside lip as it collects dirt, ( mazda take note )
always open all doors to allow them to drian
if poss park with handbrake off to stop sticking.
looking forward to your tips
tips
My tip is be very careful if you dust the dash whilst the Heads Up screen is up (not proper title i'm sure), very easy to catch it and expensive to replace.
Also be careful not to catch the milage/computer reset buttons, they stick out quite a long way and again easy to catch!

When cleaning windows, wipe the outside vertical and the inside horizontal. That way if you see any smears you will know what side needs attention.
Car sold - but still following Mazda.
The cleaning stuff is pretty much common sense, though I had not heard about the window trick before.
What about tips in relation to tech type stuff like auto closing of wing mirrors, trip computers and sat nav Etc.
EG I didnt realise for a long time that my Brera windows would not close unless I parked in gear!

Your idea of direction change makes good sense thanks.
May I surgest Andy that owners only use a damp single layer chamois leather for cleaning window glass , if you get the technique correct you can make the glass screem.
I have found that the Chamois leather will strip wax if used on paint work , I use a micro cloth and a wet vac on blow cycle with the crevis tool to blow a water in a downward direction. Good for blowing water away from doors and door jams and door handles etc. .
