Newbies first post (UK)

Hi folks, new here so thought i would post a picture of my present car and say hi to you all :-)

Sorry there's no before but to be honest it wasn't dirty, and any marks would not show up on the pics, the n the weather was crap for the afters so the car looks better in the flesh

I firstly washed down the car using the gilmour foam gun loaded with snowfoam and maxisuds 2, then used two bucket method with the schmitt mitt, car was then hosed down and i then used my new Autogleam water filter to fill a watering can with water, i then used this to sheet of the water, the car was then pat dried with two waffle weave towels.

Then the car was clayed with sonus green clay and i used a bit of sonus grey clay on the harder to shift bits, i then gave car a bit of a quick QD to remove any residue (i didn't bother with a rewash as there wasn't much residue left over)

I then set about the car with Menzerna IP on a white sfx 4" pad via the PC, I'm not sure why i use the 4" pad but i think i just prefer the feel i get with them, as always i was blown away with the the finish the IP left (almost LSP ready), but just to be sure i went over with Menzerna FP2 again on a 4" sfx white pad.

Then out came the blackfire wet diamond A.F.P.P, this was applied via the PC on a 4" blue SFX pad, as always goes on nicely and buffs of so easily, now the finish was looking and feeling exceptional, i do really like this stuff :-).

And for the finale i added my new Blackfire Wet Diamond Ivory Carnauba wax, i applied it via hand with a Zymol sponge applicator, then buffed it off , WOW the finish was amazing and the stuff went on and came of so easily (wipe on and nearly immediately off again), the paint was popping and the finish felt slick and looked wet, everything i was wanting from it TBH.

Hi and welcome...you did a great job on that vehicle. The car is glowing, the paint popping and I agree those rims are sweet.

Very nice, thank you for sharing.

[klumzypinoy]

Wow that's a nice detail job. IMO the Focus where you live looks wayyyyy better than the ones here. Those rims look pretty krazy, look concepty, if that's even a real word =P
