JoeZS19 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I wish I had the patience to do it lol I'm a quick wash n wax guy lol Aha I used to be, never waxed a car before I had this one.

davethefish Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 just finished polishing and sealing my 55 plate Mk6 fiesta. had a few quite deep scratches when i got her just over a month ago, touched up a few of the worst ones that were down to the plastic on the bumper, and to the metal on the rear wheel arch. i spent a couple of hours a night last week with my rotary polisher, medium foam pad, and megs ultimate compound. polishing out all the defects, scratches, and the haze most cars paintwork of this age have. had to give some of the scratches on the roof about 6 or 7 passes to get them mostly polished out. but compounded the whole car over 4 nights. then i finished it off today under my gazebo. you never know what the weather will do, and it's a bit crucial for the C1 to be under cover. i used some liquid shine swirl remover and a soft foam pad to get rid of the fine hologram's. and then it was sealed with gtechniq C1 crystal lacquer..and the trim colour restored with C1 as well. also the glass has been sealed with G5. just waiting for the C1 to cure before taking the gazebo down tonight....

JoeZS19 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't like it when it rains, although with waxing the car does get an awesome beading on it ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental_Atom Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What are we cleaning the dash of mk7.5 fiesta with? Check my post a couple of pages back for links, but I use an interior all purpose cleaner and then Natural look dressing. Does the job nicely :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good start...needs more practice - and as if by coincidence - I happen to have a Focus that I'm more than willing to let you practice on - not everyday you get such a generous offer eh?! :pNahh - only kidding - that's some serious work and effort there bud!! Very nicely done!! (The offer of practicing on my Focus still stands lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff4155 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'll have to use my tape to mask off the plastics if I use a machine wheel, by hand I'm careful and don't get any on the plastics this is exactly my problem, I forget every time, now I need some sort of oil for those black strips on the roof to get rid of the white wax marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
