Default 1st deep clean of 2011

Well, seeing as we've had some good weather this weekend, I decided to be a proper bufty and give 'the beast', my 2002 1.6 Focus Chic a proper clean.

I use to 2 bucket method and all this was done by hand, no power washers, no mechanical polishers etc, just elbow grease powered by 2 cups of tea and 4 slices of toast. I'm quite impressed with the results i got from 2 and a half hours of hard graft

Products used:

3M car wash
Mer Clay bar kit - clay bar, spay detailer applicator & cloth
Turtle wax 'Ice' Polish
Meguiars Carnuba Wax
Meguiars wet shine tyre spray
Zymol Leather cleaner





Like the way my bucket reflects in this shot:






the Mer Clay kit really brought up the paintwork!



MP3 alloys brought up a treat



finished exterior



Buftied up the inside for good measure!




I think it looks spot on now

Edit: added a subtle mod to the rear windows:
