Cleaned it yesterday and took a few pics last night











Then got my mate to drive so I could take a few panning shots









Hung out the window

Cheers mate

It came up so nice. I went mad with the polish, need some sort of sealant or wax though. I'm using AG Super Resin, what would you suggest?

i use collinite 476s wax, it's really durable so lasts for ages and is easy to use.

i have also used AG aqua wax last week and put 2 coats on, smells awesome and comes up lovely

as for a sealant, all i've ever used is AG extra gloss protection as it's easy, but haven't used that on the focus yet, only the fiesta, which came up nice.

I don't think I could say a bad thing about the car. For 100bhp I'd say it's pretty nippy, although did get my arse handed to me by a 182 Cup last night It feels at home blasting down country lanes though as opposed to straight line speed.

I think that last one was suggested to me. Does it matter if you don't use all AG? I've no idea if products react with each other or anything like that

Ideas are in the pipeline. Finding a set is proving difficult, but at the same time it's kinda cool as means they're not common as muck, certainly I've never seen a set on my car.

not really, it's just easier to buy Autoglym from halfords with the 3 for 2 offer on at the moment

i've used meguiars, autoglym and collinite together and never had any problems

Well it looks like its on broken suspension so it just needs neons to finish it off

On a serious not go on Cleanyourcar.co.uk and order the Collenite 476 and Carlock sealant kit its great value for money.

The when you wash it

Autoglym SRP (Not a fan but seeing as you already have it)
Car Lock sealant
Collenite 476

jobs a good un.
