My mate just bought this Ford Focus ST and asked it i'll give it a but of a tidy up and wax it as it looked like the owner before never polished it or anything!

First off snow foam





Then we clayed the whole car which removed loads of dirty and tiny black spots which where all over the car

As we only had today to get it finished i went over the whole car with with Dodo Juice Supernatural micro prime and a medium cut pad, which removed a fair amount of swirl marks
















In these two pictures you can just make out the swirls




This is it after with a coat of Dodo Juice Banana Armour hard carnauba wax









And a few beeding pictures as it rained jus tafter we finished







Thanks for looking comments welcome good or bad

Nice work work a proper credit to you mate...

How come your snow foam looks weak..? And not thick like it should be.

Or has it been left over time

The snow foam isn't the best it's Autobrite's super snow foam but to be fair it did remove alot of dirt, i had run out of there Magi-foam

Ah thought so mate ... Looks really well... I love the orange tbf

 

Love it mate, that ginger looks brilliant when it's polished. Now jump in your motor and come do mine

 

Maybe i could of added a bit more foam but never mind it worked abit lol

Wow mate you've done a fantastic job there, love these in orange and you've really brought out the best in it. I want a mate like you to do my car.

What's the reason for taping some areas off when polishing? Is it to stop the polish going on black trim? Maybe not - just noticed you've taped off the door handle which is orange.

 

Thanks mate

One is to stop the polish going on the black trim but also i taped the handle up as didn't won't the machine to catch it encase burns through the paint as the paint is probably thinner on the handle i went over the handles by hand after
