bmwtouring Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi all, anyone got any help on cleaning a new Candy Red Focus TX. I usually go to my local hand car wash, but I am thinking the car is only 3 weeks old so do I need to be doing anything different to the Candy Red paintwork i.e. polish/wax,what types. Any help would be appreciated Kev P.s Can't fault the car yet!!!! (2.0L powershift diesel, driver assist, privacy, 18"alloys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi, I hand wash mine with a sheeps wool mitt using Simoniz car wash, rinse it with a hose then dry it using a microfiber cloth. If it needs a wax I apply Auto Glym's Aqua Wax before drying as this can be used on black trim as well. This is the same method I used on my 'Tango' Mondeo...

cuke Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi, that Turtle wax is good just for the box alone, however those heater controls are not for the Mk3 TX. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
