A Mates Focus RS (Pic heavy)
« on: May 05, 2013, 05:41:57 pm »
I promised a mate I could revive his neglected focus, this is how it turned up last sunday.






Much washing and iron x later...







Tar removal.






Finally after 5/6 washes, iron x, tardis, claying, another wash, polish, sealant and finally a wax...







Apologies for some of the picture qualities I'm no david bailey and no more than a enthusiastic amateur detailer, I just wanted to say thanks to the guys on this forum who switched me on to some of the excellent products out there.

I appreciate this is a vag forum, but I always had a liking for fords and love or hate these cars there impossible to ignore. I've been lucky enough to drive this car a few times now (a one owner car and only 11,000 miles) and although not quite my cup of tea, they are a great drive and make some amazing noises......

Thanks carlo, it was hard work but so worth it.

Agreed white suits these, although I saw a green one in at dealers in berlin once and I don't know whether it was the lighting in the showroom but it looked amazing.
