Default focus rs

I have recently bought this focus as my wifes run around got it for a good price due to the state of the paint work, had lots of marks and swirls, but for £6300 i could nt resist as i know dam well that with it being used every day and the kids climbing in and out it would end up which more.
Well the buffy got the best of me and i thought i would see what i could do with it.I have spent plenty of time polishing cars over the years but this was more of a full correction than a polish but with nothing to loose apart from 25 hours over 4 days these are the results so far, just wish i had taken more before pictures.








There were scuffs like this every where





Finish after machining and spot wet flatting








Progress so far still a few bit that im not fully happy with but looks so much better very pleased with my efforts so far

Looks spot on.
£6300 sounds a bit too cheap for an Focus RS, did it need any work aprt from the finish?

Its got 100k on so a little high, but as an every day driver for the wife no point in having a minter But she washed it today with out me moaning so may be a new leaf has been turned.
had it about 3 weeks an no gremlins or problems yet need a couple of bits , but typical ford nothing is easy like you cant just get pedal covers
But apart from that seems a cracking little run about.
