Waxon Detailing Forum

Soooooo me and Kev decided to detail a Focus ST today
The owner has been on our case as long as I can remember . So our stuff finally arrived from Poor-Boys( Thanks Don ) so we put it to good use

Here are a few before pics ( After we washed it )
The car wasnt dirty at all



As you an see form this shot there is no protection on the paintwork what so ever
We used Chemical Guys Citrus wash and Gloss to remove what ever was on the paint work


these contaminants were found on the bonnet and roof .

This is a shot was taken after we washed the car again to remove the quick detailer


Don this is just for you


As most of you know trying to take pictures of swirl marks on white cars is near impossible
If this was a black car it would have been a massacre






We taped up the car using the infamous blue tape. . Nothing sticks like blue tape



So we cracked on with the Polishing part

These shots were taken after we had polished the car .






Final Pics







Total time 9Hrs

Lovely work there guys! And I'm very glad to see you remembered inside the filler cap

Good work. I have also try to take a photo of swirls on white. Not easy.

Nice work guys, great to finally see those Flex's in action doing what they were born to do

Lovely finish on white guys.

Looks like Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss can be lethal if not used at the recommeded dilution ratios for maintenance washes.

Well done guys, the ST came out nicely.

Yea, certainly seems like it! Make a mistake and you might be a little peeved that you've lost all your protection.

Thanks for all the Kind words guys

The citrus stuff is really ruthless . The client had his car at Amazing Glaze and the CWG took what ever they put on right off
Id be carefull though . As most said one slip of the hand and all the protection will be lost

We doing another white ST on Saturday
I feel this one is going to be alot harder

The tougher the job the greater the satisfaction when it is done. Whilst it is always nice to detail a nicely maintained car that looks tip top when you done, restoring some of the really old and neglected stuff can be equally rewarding as well
