Ford Focus RS
Hey Everyone,

I got a call from a very excited owner of a new Focus RS that arrived at Ford in Cape Town on Thurs. This car had traveled for 3 weeks by sea and by train to reach the dealership. The owner had asked Ford not to touch the car before I had done a thorough clean and Seal and inspection for any mishaps that may have happened on it's journey.

So I arrived Friday to be greeted by this awsome car but boy was it dirty. Man I could not believe what this poor car looked like. Brand new and covered in everything imaginable. Took me ages just to wash it carefully to get all the gunk and grime off.

Upon inspection there were very fine swirls and minor scratches so I decided it was good to go with Menzerna Final Finish and a Polishing Pad. That sorted out any imperfections nicely. Then I went on to coating the paint with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0 which really brought out the Blue in the car very nicely.

Here are the shot I managed to take with the Sun almost gone behind the mountain. Had to be quick to get these shots in.
All in all a very rewarding job for me and what an amazing piece of machinery this car is. Stunning.

RE: Ford Focus RS
Nice work, I checked one out on Fri. Interesting cars, but still cant fathom how someone would spend R500k on it.
Anyways Im sure the new owner is very happy.

RE: Ford Focus RS
Yeah sorry about no Before pics... Trouble was that I was on such a tight time frame and I needed to squeeze the car into the wash bay ahead of about 15 other cars waiting in line at the dealership, not too many happy chappy's after I just forced my way in... So didnt want to upset the guys even more with me and a camera. It was a battle to get the car back out of the wash bay again as well. My nerves were pretty shot after all that.
