which detailing product U like?

[Mondeo]

Wait man , New car got a coating can be last at least six months, upto 12months (like my mondy) , do not apply any wax on it, Just need to wash it.

You will still need to polish it man....those orginial wax from the dealers are most prob from Tuff Cote. Cos new cars they will sent to them for degreasing and then polishing for delivery to customer. Dunnoe if Regent Motor uses them or not.

 

Have yet to seen the power of Turbobrick's Klass...but if yours is a dark coloured car, you must see Zaino !! If wet look shine turns you on.....its a must !!

I dun know lah.. I only wash her till to today, have not apply any treatment on her body , how's the paint work of my mondy?

[Magfocus]

Looks pretty good to me!!

[Mondeo]

Thank you. Expecting to see your babe also.

[Magfocus]

Yes would be posting some pics here

 

My digital camera is eagerly waiting

[Turbobrick]

Dealer waxes are usually not lasting. I'll recommend using a cleaner (aka Klasse All-in-one or Zaino Z1) followed by Sealant Glaze or good quality carnuaba wax for maximum "wet"

[Magfocus]

Any idea what kind of wax dealers use? Like what brand, type etc?

[Turbobrick]

Actually Ford recommends ValuGuard detailing products to their dealers which is really good stuff (commercial use only). I corresponded with the Sales manager from ValuGuard USA and he mentioned that the local dealer has the right product but lack the skill thus created a swirl city on the paint surface.

you mean i am gonna get swirls on my paint??

[Turbobrick]

Just watch out for them, inspect carefully when U collect. No factory paint will be perfect, but I'd rather the paint remains dirty then the dealer trying to "detail" the car for me.

[Magfocus]

Hmm...thats true. Frankly, i think that the paint quality on my Honda was better than the one on the Focus. MAybe it was the colour that i chose *shrug*

 

I should then wait for you to detail for me right?

 

Just kidding!!

[Turbobrick]

No kidding lah, I got all the stuff required for a complete detail incl. swirl removal which I'm gonna to do for my brick this Good Friday

 

Whole day of stripping everything down to the clearcoat and start cleaning the paint with 3M swirl mark removal followed by Klasse

 

See how your Focus paint turns out, if it's in good condition just pop by my place for a Klasse treatment lor
