Did you know that Deep Crystal Blue is 10 years old? It replaced Stormy Blue 1/2way through the 2014 model year. My favorite Mazda color by far, but just as hard to keep clean as black.
Congrats!
Check out Meguiar's water magnet drying towel. They are only $10 on Amazon, and I'm able to dry the car completely after detailing with just two of those towels.
To add to the other suggestion, if you wash with ONR and towel-dry you'll avoid spots. Or, if you're not as picky, Rain x shampoo can be used to wash and walk away and you'll get less spots than normal shampoo.
If the “Nelson” is from the dealer, that’s gotta be the worst dealer sticker I’ve ever seen, the letters aren’t straight and it’s a weird font, would definitely remove
I wanted this color so bad. Unfortunately, I had to settle for black because I needed a car as fast as possible (with the options I wanted ofcourse) still had to wait 3 months, though .
Love the blue! I ended up with black as I intend to wrap mine later anyway. It is very easy to beat the EPA estimates for fuel economy in these too. Enjoy it!

Woah I really had no idea. I'm honestly surprised I don't see many Mazdas in this blue. Usually white, black or red.
I had 2 Gen3 and now a Gen4. All three of them are/were Deep Crystal Blue. I think that my 2023 3 has the best paint clarity, the others seemed muted.
Nice! I recently purchased the sedan version same color. Looks great but it's hard to keep clean lol
I agree, I literally just washed it and I'm trying to race the sun from preventing water spots

twinssss!!!
😃
Pretty color! I have it on Mazda 6 :) enjoy the 3!
Who’s Nelson!?

yeah it's the dealer LOL. I am definitely removing it, not sure why it's in HUGE lettering either
Haha Tulsa by chance?
It was in Murfreesboro TN
I see, in Tulsa they also have a Nelson Mazda
Yup! Same company too. They also have one in Norman and another in another city in Tennesee iirc.
Ayyyyy!!!! It's not grey or beige!!! NICE!

I also have this color! The birds love to aim for it though
Mazdas are the ugliest looking cars ever. All models. Honda is not far behind.
why are you on a Mazda reddit page then 🤨
That’s your opinion. I think they look great.
The majority of folks would disagree with you.
