Default Elite Detailer Focus S Max Detail

Hi all,

I had totally forgotten about this car.

This one was completed a while back when the 08 registration had just come out. The owner of this car bought it for his wife and wanted to surprise her. So off I went to Leicester Main Dealer to work on her.

"New Car Detail" at a Ford dealership.

I'm sorry but the pictures aren't very good with this one.


A before picture of how the car looked:



The Focus was washed with Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash and then dried with the Ultra Safe Drying Towel.


This brand new car was in dire need for paint correction and I needed to wet sand certain areas of the car:





After the correction and the Zaino Treatment by the Elite Detailer:













The wheels were sealed with Zaino Z2 Pro and the tyres treated with Zaino Z-16 Tyre Gloss.





The glass was also polished with Zaino Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish.

Thanks you for looking.

Regards
Elite Detailer

stu,you really really would see such an amazing difference after having a detail done.
im learning but even the people's i have done have been amazed at the difference.

imo spending 500 on a proper detail puts the value of the car up.as it makes it look box fresh.


really cant understand why people moan about spending a few quid on getting a car detailed but are happy to spend load getting stereo fitted of even pay 70 quid an hour at a mian dealer for maintinance

What did you use for the correction stage mate?
I normally find the megs stuff works well on ford paint but am always willing to try new stuff.

Got Megs #83 and #80 and the Menz range, thinking of investing in some 3M stuff though

Nice work by the way, how a car should be handed over

It was quite funny mate, when 5.30 came they wanted to lock up and go home on the dot. I had to ask for someone to stay behind there with me until 7 as the car needed to be right.

Enter the £50 prze draw mate, nobody has bought anything yet so you will probably win it.

Probably Menz + 3m. Although I'm using something different now. If your getting good results with your Megs, then thats great.
