Red Ford Focus

[Number19]

This Focus looked pretty good at first but soon I was to discover the paint is scratched all over, with stubborn tar stains all over the lower panels.

 

PC seemed to do little against the scratches so I switched over to the rotary with a white pad, using a mixture of Opti Polish and Compound.

 

Full process:

ONR + Clay + Dry

Rotary/polishing pad/OP mix OC

1 layer of EX-P

Tyres got BoldnBrite

 

 

Here are the B4 & Afters,

To round it off, it was a difficult and long detail. EX-P was just wonderful, very easy on and off with great slickness.

Defect removal about 80% I reckon, time to get halogens

Wow bro, your car looks very nice. I'm driving a black focus. Have given up trying to polish my car. Everytime I polish the car, about a weeks time, it's back to it's dirty self again

You are getting better and better

Nice work bro, the red is wet n glossy

 

If you have time, try the Natty's blue over the Ex-P after allowing it to fully cure for 24hrs. The paint will drip even more

Hi,

 

Unfortunately its not mine to keep, for black cars there's no way out, it either looks damn good or it looks like.....

 

Using a good sealant or wax will enable subsequent washing & drying much easier though

Hey bro thanks for your comments never attend your 'Sunday service' very long liao PS got to work every day incl Sat & Sun

[Number19]

Hi bro,

 

Thanks for your comments and advice

 

I'll try out that EX-P + Natty's Blue combo next time round I'm a sucker for dripping wet red paint~

 

The bonnet was in fact 2 layers of EX-P with 24hrs in between (just for fun )

Pardon my ignorance. What's EX-P and Natty's Blue?

[Number19]

Both are products from Poorboy's.

 

EX-P is a sealant, Natty's blue is a paste wax.
