Eves stunning Focus RS

[VIICarCare]

I absolutely enjoyed every moment of today. Was a pleasure to meet Guy & his father, nice people :approve: So, Guy dropped her off at 8am this morning, finished at about 3pm. The car has been looked after really well, but could do with paint correction as we discussed which will hopefully happen in the spring as I loved working on this beast!

So the process was -

Snow foam mix with btbm
Wheels/tyres cleaned with Imperial (Really liked this, although smelt just like Smartwheels?)
G101 for the arches, nooks & crannies
Washed with Carpro mitt & btbm
Iron X all over, not much to report on there.
Oblitarate lower panels
Clayed with Megs bar & DJ lube
Snow foamed again
Washed
Towel dried
Windows cleaned with 3M
Hand applied Tripple with a mf app x2 Coats as I wanted max coverage
Z6 wipe down
Autofinesse Illusion applied - Love it, gave such a deep glow to the finish
Z8 wipe down
Tyres dressed with Perl
Trim's dressed with Dressel - This worked best on textured plastics imo, perl was far better on the rubbers
Door shuts polished with Tripple

Hopefully Guy will get some Hydro2 to use for his maintenance washes, this stuff is awesome & really does add that bit extra.

Cheers for the pleasure Guy

I was quite impressed by this, I didn't want to be! Was lovely

Stunning finish, stunning car.

 

[Matt W]

Body coloured vents? Should all be like that!

 

[Fletcher]

Looks Great. They look 100x better with standard silver wheels IMO.

 

[chris_p]

Best colour & wheels, refreshing to see a standard looking example. Lush!

 

[Stefan.]

Exactly how i would have one! So jealous

 

[JD]

[Mr Plums]

Gorgeous car, pics edited too much tho.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Not bad that...

 

[Gally]

That's how an Frs should look! It's called non chav spec!

Stunning work Dawn. Great colour to work on and awesome curves.

Stunning finish Dawn

 

[eves]

Great write up and pictures Dawn. The car looks fantastic.

Just taken the car for a little spin as the sun was shining briefly. Absolutely stunning job Dawn. We'll speak soon about getting my fathers ML cleaned next.

Highly recommend MagpieV6

 

[VIICarCare]

No probs Guy, glad your happy!

 

[Bluebeard]

You not allowed to do them at work anymore Dawn?

 

[lesley]

You not allowed to do them at work anymore Dawn?

She's changed jobs now

 

[VIICarCare]

Yep, the hangar is long gone

On the lookout for some permises.

 

[Bluebeard]

What you doing for work now then dawn? (Just being nosey, tell me to puss off if you want)

 

[VIICarCare]

lol no probs Daniel. Im working 3 days a week at an Alfa Romeo garage as the valeter & getting to do a few details too so its all good. Using the rest of the time to fit our kitchen & get some detailing work going too.

 

[Chi]

Can I ask what you charge for this sort of detail? MagpieV6

 

[VIICarCare]

pm on way

So you're basically the female version of me.

 

[VIICarCare]

lol yep

Fecking state some people leave their cars in is shocking!

 

[Cliotoby]

That's how an Frs should look! It's called non chav spec!

Stunning work Dawn. Great colour to work on and awesome curves.

Thought you preferred them with black bonnet grills?


Why do people wipe down with Z6 after applying a cleaner/glaze? Is there more to Z6 than just a detailing spray or something?

 

[Gally]

Adds gloss. Hence layering Z2 etc. black bonnet vents should be burnt to death!

 

[VIICarCare]

z6 is a superb product, adds so much imo

 

[Bluebeard]

Can you explain the z8/z6 please? As in why do you use it and what they do?

 

[VIICarCare]

Z6 is a quick detailer with extremely good gloss enhancers, thus why I like to use it between applications. Z8 is a finishing off qd if you like, this is only a final wipe down, im not overly fussed on it tbh, I have 4 bottles of z6 & one z8 which Ive had about 2 years!

 

[Gally]

Z8 is the grand finale Dan. A show shine product imo, it's like Z6 but has sealant properties and a bit more bling. The Zaino system truly has stood the test of time against the new boys!

 

[Cliotoby]

Z6 was great when I had it but I never understood application prior to adding a wax, Wondered if it was a better 'base' than a glaze or similar. Always used after washing.

 

[simonsprp]

seen this on v6 looks great
