You are welcome.. Not yet changed anything.. Cuz just started and have only done the first service. Ask me again in 3 or 4 years time..
Total cost to resprary the car after say 5 years could be around 3K or less depending on color type. Coating does NOT protect against stone chips, etc. Just keeps original paint more shiny for longer. I DIY myself.. Took a couple hours over 2 weekends to wash, claybar, dry, apply sealant, allow days to cure, wash again and apply hard wax over it.. Tossed Rain-X on all glasses including side mirrors.. Used a cleaner and conditioner/protectant on almost all interior parts, boot included..Now can wash and dry like normal and it's hydrophobic & shiny.. Easy to wipe off bird shit, bugs etc when out an about.. Satisfied cuz so much highway driving and zero chips. Will redo again in 6 months.. Total cost? RM200 + elbow grease. But I agree, not for everyone. I didn't think I could, but glad I did.
Hmm, not that I really need it.. Cuz so far, gear shifts have been okay.
mind to share what detailing products you used? still contemplating on whether to get coating. found another reputable detailer here using Modesta and SEI3031 coating (1.6k-1.9k).
few years back i've tried meguiars NXT wax but ever since bottle finished didnt buy anymore. after that got try meguiars quik wax and quik detailer. although now hardly have time to wash and wax my car ever since welcoming my child last year

interior i used meguiars natural shine protection but that was more for plastic dash. now not sure what to use for cx5's leather dash/seats.

U changed ur transmission oil at Mazda dealership? At mazda service centre
Ur car's total mileage? 50k
6 years old? 3 years old
Any issue? none so far...and i love it
3 years old then your car is still under warranty. SC willing to change? thought they insisted on changing only at 100k.
maybe can do "offline" with smaller SC. pay them to change but don't include in main bill or bill separately. money for them also
