I spent about 7 hours valeting the Focus RS last week but only just got round to sorting the photos out. I wish id got it out of the workshop and the shadows to get a decent pic afterwards but sadly it rained!! I did do the wheels at the end hence why they are dirty in some of the pics.
I couldn't believe it when I was driving home and the rain started. Its pretty much back to square one. Gonna give it another go over next week I think. It also gives me a chance to steal it off the wife for a day
Luckily a mate has a workshop so I can go up and wash it outside then role it in to polish it. I wish id put another layer of wax on now but gonna give it another go over soon. It was a 3 stage polish using meguires.
So first off I used a valet pro snowfoam
Followed by a wash with Valet Pro Poseidan wash
Then clayed with G3 clay mitt and used valet pro tar and glue remover for tougher tar spots
Then 1 coat Meguiars Ultimate Compound
1 coat Meguiars Ultimate Polish
1 coat Meguiars Ultimate Wax
It was the first proper valet ive ever done and took me about 7 and half hours by hand but the results were worth the effort big time. Going to do it again Thursday or Friday and hope the weather stays off this time for the trip home.
Top job pal👍🏼 would love to do mine but I have to go to my mum and dads to wash it. I ain't got an outdoor tap 😔
Yours lowered? What springs is it on?
Its on BC coilovers and sits very low on the 19" wheels. If you go for a spirited drive with 4 people in you know about it!! Its pretty much a two seater if you want anything in the boot aswell.
I was on course for doing it again tomorrow but the chance of a free lunch in return for helping a mate with some landscaping have taken Priority. Im also looking at getting a DA machine so next time the shine should be a bit deeper
I work shifts so get convinient time off is the best way to describe it!!
