Yet Another White One

[fordpartsman]

Well i have been on the site for a while now and i havent done a thread for my car yet, so this is it

I own a Frozen White, 1.6 TDCi (95ps) Zetec S Fiesta. I picked my car up on 20th July after ordering it on 13th March this year

spec is as follows

Frozen White

Tech Pack

City Pack

Auto H/Lamps and Wipers

Heated Windscreen

Spare Wheel Pack

Full Black Leather

and since ive owned it its had quite a few more extras aswell

DMB Gel Overlays

Stainless Scuff Plates

Illuminated Gear Knob

Dark Wind Deflectors

Rear Windows have been tinted

Street pack 'Y' Spoke 17" alloys with brushed aluminium centres

and the topping on the cake

Full frontal paint protection (Venture Sheild)

I have done over 4000 miles in the car and its absolutly fantastic. it gets washed four times a week and waxed with Auto Glym HD Wax at least twice a month

sorry about all the photos but i want to show it off at its best

All comments welcome be they good or bad.

Thanks for reading

Lovely looking car there... very nice :)

Looks very nice indeed.

However - AG High Def twice a month is a complete waste of product. You can get 3-6 months out of a well applied coat of HD - applying that often will probably mean that you're bonding wax to old layers of wax and therefore the wax is not being as protective as it could be.

Very very smart.....but come on...you know you should lower it

Very nice pics, like the flapz. ;) :D

Pah, there's just too many white ones :P

Looking good, best colour of course :D

How do you find the time to wash it 4 times a week?

And isn't applying HD Wax twice a month a bit excessive? I have found a couple of coats lasts for ages with great beading, just giving it a quick spritz of Express Wax after each wash just once a week.

HD Wax also proved to be one of the longer lasting waxes in this detailing World test (along with others):

Edit: Ooops looks like Dan got in before me.

i only wax the paint protection film that often, it feeds the film aswell as protects it

whats the best way of stripping the old wax in order to apply fresh
