My 3 door update
Well ive now had my 3 door for 2 years , when the car was sitting in the dealers showroom it looked mint, but after a while i noticed the paint was patchie and dull, and the engine bay was a mess, so i decided to make the car how i wanted it, im happy with the results,the engine bay looks clean 
This was the car 2 years ago
Since then ive changed
The level 1 ecu to a level 6 with a stage one chip
Removed all the old nakered ford bushes from the front end and replaced them with polybushes
Removed the nakered ford shocks and fitted a koni kit
Fitted a new rear spoiler as the old one was cracked and had the front bumper painted to get rid of a scuff and all the stonechips etc
New fuel pump/filter
And i decided to go for comp mo's ,here's how she sits now
The paint looks bright white again and not yellow ish
Got rid of the halfords battery and bought a ford one,also bought a new power steering bottle

Re: 3dr
Car looks stunning, looks really nice on the Mo's
Depends if your doing it by hand or have access to a buffer?
I do mine by hand as i dont have a buffer. If starting from scratch then i go:
Wash
Clay [Meguires quick clay]
Meguires step 2 polish [buff off each pannel as go as it s a bastard to get off]
Poorboys EX-P [sealent for the polish]
Collinite No 845 [Top coat of wax and very hard wearing]
My advice is contact Gaz7 off RSOC he will tell you whats best.
