hey folks, just thought id share my pictures of my day cleaning the focus.
i drive my focus more than the clio and tbh it rarely sees any soap suds. i dont see myself as a detailer, but i like to try out cleaning products and keep the clio clean, unfortunately the focus is forgot about. well after it passed its M.O.T and it got a service i thought i would clean it.
as you can see from the pictures its boggin, so blasted it with the hose and then sprayed it with citrus power or what i had left.
anyway after giving it a good wash i attacked the tar, which was everywhere i looked. good old AF tar remover seen to that after two hits.
pretty horrible stuff when its running
a quick wash then some iron x
another quick wash and then dried. i bought some R222 paint cleaner for it and used that, found it to be pretty good but hard work by hand. once i done that i put one quick coat of amigo and tough coat on it.
as time was running away i never had time to take pictures of when i dressed the tyres/plastics and done the glass.
those are the results after the polish which im really happy with, as im just finding my feet and what all the products are for, im sure i will improve. its becoming an expensive hobby now and ive not even got a machine yet.
cheers
