I have the same problem, I've spent shit-loads on Meguiars etc and nothing seems to get it as shiny as some of the bufty crew cars over in the RSOC

Could be the cheating fuckers are using photoshop before posting the pics up though

It's okay, fuc... err, Lami PM'd me and let me know the secret.....

He reckons you should buy an '04 plate (like some bloke called Gaffa?) as they don't go so quick therefore don't get very dirty in the first place

C'mon then Lami - ya gay badger - tell us all how you keep your stunning Focus looking so fine

I was actually looking for an '04 plate, but none were for sale (close ones anyway) at the time of looking.

Where did the RS grill come from? Or is that a Pro-alloy poking through?

Might have to do that spoek to a detailer yesterday and he reckons it will look as though its just come out of a showroom, apart from the stonechips which i will probably get painted and then armofended.

Mine's got lots of skanky swirl marks, so I'm hoping they'll be gone when the guy cleans it Wednesday, although he did say he can machine polish it if they're bad.

My bad for using a crap budget sponge and not doing the two bucket routine I suppose
