Default Mk1 Focus Detail

Spent hours on the car today and its come out stunning,

The paintwork is like glass its as smooth as silk

Wash and wax first,
Then claybar after dry,
Then high gloss protect by auto glym, followed by super high resin polish,
I've had a look around and hear purple haze is good but not on light cars, only dark cars so that will work on the fiesta, Anyway heres the end result i'm happy,

























hard to tell she looked like this when i got her


Heres one of the fiesta



Love glossy paint

Gazz, you're order is wrong mate.

I know very little about detailing, but after you wash and dry the car, then you should clay bar. Then you're looking at polishing it, and finally waxing it.

If you polish it, you're removing material.

That's what I mean. Polish after you clay bar, but before you put the wax on
