Ultimate Green Focus RS Enhancement Detail...

[Gally]

Hi chaps, it's been a while!

I was lucky enought to get my hands on Joe's new UG Focus RS. I'm a big fan of the Mk2 and Joe's is the perfect spec. My neighbours might disagree right enough, was rather loud popping and banging it's way down my street at 7am!

Anyway, apologies about the lack of pics, everyone has seen the usual proccess.

Nothing major dirt wise. Some snowfoam to kick off, washed down and G101 the usual areas.

Little tip to anyone using Tardis, use a blue MF to wipe the panels down after letting Tardis work away for a bit, the MF has a bit of bite to it to help remove any stubborn tar spot. Gave it a double hit as the green seems to show up the tar a lot.

My iron remover was playing up for some reason. Thinking it might be a bad bottle. Now more testing of the clay cloth. Some intial testing on soft Porsche paint actually inflicted less marring than a piece of soft clay. The car was however pretty clean. Very impressed with the cloth overall. Super quick however still a little unerving.

Inside for drying and some light polishing...

This was a White hex pad after half the car, people sometimes ask me why cleansing is so important...

Rolled outside for some final pics, always a hard colour to photograph with a shocking camera not helping!

Glass sealed with G1, tyres with Megs, Exhaust polished with britemax, seals and trims with Swissvax seal feed and LSP was a trial prototype product, partial show wax but with some durablity. When on like oil and removed with zero hassle. Impressed so far, will update with durabiliy thoughts.

Thanks for looking in guys and thanks to Joe for trusting me with the RS. Much appreciated mate.

 

[.GAZ.]

Belter!!!!

 

[GiT]

That is incredible. How long did it take start to finish?

 

[RichyMa]

What a beaut... is that the standard exhaust?

 

[aucky]

Great work. That gloss!

I think this will have to be my next car after the golf. It's an itch I just have to scratch!

 

[Sam@NP]

Stunning, I really wish I had your skill and temperament to detail properly

 

[Joe#]

Fantastic work mate.

I think this will have to be my next car after the golf. It's an itch I just have to scratch!

Agreed!

 

[ColinG]

Top work that looks incredible!

 

[LiamR172]

Really nice, great work Gally.

I still cant get over how lairy these look as standard, mental things.

 

[joshsta]

Superb job! Looks mint !

What do you use to clean in the cracks of the badges, a cotton bud?

Cheers !

 

[Paprika123]

Needs black vents and a green ASBO Ford badge to finish it off.




It really is stunning!

No. Everyone does the vents. Looks gay IMO.

 

[imprezaworks]

That looks stunning. Too work

 

[Gally]

Thanks the kind comments guys. It really transformed in colour during the polishing stage.

Will mmmmmmulti quote tomorrow.

 

[Scrooge]

Nice work there dude, very glossy!

 

[Dave..]

Pornographic. Really brought that colour out well.

It really is stunning!

It really doesn't.

 

[_Tom]

Looks great. Refreshing to see one without black wheels!

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks fantastic.

Love these! So chavvy.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks great.

 

[Addicted]

Looks lovely, but next door are missing their bins!

Exhausts sadly look stupid

 

[daydotz]

Looking good

 

[Rob]

Nicely done Scotland. Must be heaven having your workspace.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmulti-quote!

Started around 7 am, finished around 4pm mate. It helps the car isn't exactly very dirty.

What a beaut... is that the standard exhaust?

De-catted Milltek item. Always needed on these imo.

Really nice, great work Gally.

I still cant get over how lairy these look as standard, mental things.

Yeah they deserve a lot of praise for going all out on it, wide, low, deep. Very big and very purposeful in the flesh.

Superb job! Looks mint !

What do you use to clean in the cracks of the badges, a cotton bud?

Cheers !

They're actually eyeshadow things from Primark iirc. Bought 50 of them ages ago for £1 or something. They're pretty ideal for small tasks.

It really is stunning!

No, just no!!!

Nice work there dude, very glossy!

Cheers Ant, great colour to work with.

Looks great. Refreshing to see one without black wheels!

Isn't it! They're staying silver.

Looks lovely, but next door are missing their bins!

I think they look bigger than they are, the standard ones are around the same size.

Nicely done Scotland. Must be heaven having your workspace.

It's pretty ideal mate. Be nice to have a nice little unit to my own spec, but I don't detail that much through choice so hard to justify it.

 

[Herr Flick]

Lovely car but tbh I could pretty much achieve the same result with a bucket and sponge.

Flol! You're just bitter because you lot lost the war!

 

[Joe#]

What's the paint like on these Gally, fairly soft?

 

[Herr Flick]

NEIN!!!

 

[Alan]

Top work oor Kevin.. F'n love UG RS'

 

[Gally]

What's the paint like on these Gally, fairly soft?

Just medium mate. Fords are always the same from my experience. Easily correctable ime. My Frp, ST and other ones i've done have all been similar. Martin's new Fiesta ST was also the same.

Always Menzerna for me. Even Lime Prime on the right pad can correct with proper technique.

 

[Scrooge]

It's going to take something special to take me away from Menz and hex combos. So bloody good for types of paint. What machine are you using Kevin?

 

[Sam]

Looks awesome that.

 

[cat171]

Great work there, it's such an awesome colour. I'm not that keen on the exhausts though bit too big.

 

[C.J]

Stunning.

You certainly have the skills gally.

 

[JD]

s**t. Pics of decontamination or it didn't happen and you're a BWAB. Also, wasn't that blue originally, so you've buffed it green? Nice work, Highlander.

[JCC]

Car looks awesome now thanks to Gally's work, was never really bothered about detailing with other motors but felt this colour deserved a bit of time spent on it!

Cheers again mate. Will be raiding your Flickr account later for all the pics once I'm home!

It really is stunning!

Trololololol

 

[Gally]

Wire in Joe, always find they're good to keep even if you ever sell. Was a pleasure to work on. I'll text you that list over later.

It's going to take something special to take me away from Menz and hex combos. So bloody good for types of paint. What machine are you using Kevin?

I think the range offers everything and when used properly they are still top of the game imo.

This was done with a Das6-pro. I love the machine, my rotary is a millwaukee, I crack it out for scratch removal etc but I love that little das machine. I trialled correcting Audi paint with it using Hex and Menz and it was fantastic with the right technique.

Okay the rotary is quicker when doing heavy correction work but I like glazing and cleansing on family cars etc and the Das is so good to use.

Stunning.

You certainly have the skills gally.

Thanks CJ!

Fuuuuuuuuuu! I find it boring to image everything these days!

 

[Ant1]

Looks perfect as is! No more mods required.
