Hyrule Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So ever since I slapped on my Motec alloys, I been taking extra care of my Focus. I would be livid if I took the car to be washed and they scratched my alloys, or the paint work ;) Done a lot of research, asked around, and got some great goodies from Danwel, so here's my ritual. I wash the Focus every 1-2 weeks. Exterior (Currently sealed with FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant) Rinse with either a hose (if I am round me mums) or two buckets warm water to loosen surface dirt. Two washes with Turtle Wax ICE Rapid Drying Shampoo using a Microfiber Hand Mitt. Rinse off shampoo with warm water. Dry with large Microfiber Towels. Polish Car with Poorboys Black Hole (works great on dark cars). Allow to haze, then buff to brilliant Shine with a Microfiber cloth/towel Clean Window with Turtle Wax ClearVue Glass Clean alloys (currently sealed with FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant) Since they are sealed I use a little of the shampoo to clean the dirt/brake dust/grime of, then thoroughly dry them with a Microfiber Hand Mitt. Reapply sealant every 3-6months. Interior Vacuum mats, carpet & boot Clean seats with Carplan interior Valet Upholstery cleaner. Clean Dash and interior plastics with Turtle Wax Fresh n Shine (strawberry smell). :D Clean inside of windows with Turtle Wax ClearVue Glass Clean Sit back and admire the hours of hard labour The products needed are not that expensive and do the job quite well I think.

ed12 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Looking very nice! Quite an enjoyable routine, yet another Focus in the best colour ;) That Nissan Note has the same last three letters as my plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjake Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looks good. I'm also a fan of Turtle Wax especially their Ice spray wax. By the way, just curious here if you are using some tire dressing or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate, not yet, as I haven't found one that lasts more than 24hours lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyW Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Poorboys Black hole is a glaze. If you put a wax on the top of the black hole it will last alot longer. I currently use black hole with R222 wax on top and the results are stunning! Car looks ace btw ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
