  • 2009 Ford Focus

    2009 Black Ford Focus, 13k miles.

    Basic one step exterior, interior detail.

    Was pretty new and somewhat clean. Its nice to have something new and easy once in a while, was able to knock it out in 4hrs










    I washed the wheels, tires, and wells with just Deep Crystal Car Wash and various brushes.

    Yes, just soap and water. It can actually clean light dirt and grime.






    I washed the car with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and a Meguiars wash mitt. I scrubbed off any bugs and the light tar with a bug sponge and soapy water.




    I then vacummed the trunk, I did not take a before picture since there was barely any debris.




    I then made my way into the interior, I dry brushed and vacummed the carpet. I did some spot cleaning with All Purpose Cleaner and a toilet brush. I rinsed the cleaning solution out of the spots with a damp terry cloth, vacummed the spot, then towel dried it.

    I cleaned all the hard surfaces with All Purpose Cleaner and a cotton towel, stripped the greasy dressing on the doors and dash while I was at it as well. I then dressed everything with Quik Interior Detailer to leave a clean matte finish.

    The doorjambs were wiped clean with Last Touch Spray Detailer , the glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    All the vents and crevices were brushed out as per usual.












    I clayed the paint with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.

    I then applied a coat of #20 - Polymer Sealant with my G110 and a couple of yellow W8207 polishing pads. I sealed the wheels with #20 by hand as well.

    Tires and fenderwells are wearing Hyper-Dressing at about 2:1.

    Glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    Trim dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.

        Black is beautiful! Great work as usual Nick.

        Is that a pothole I'm seeing & were you listening to Q-country? My garage radio is stuck on that station! Seriously, it's stuck on 98.3.

            Thanks Paul!

            Yes, that is a pothole. Not too bad though.

            And yes, I always listen to 98.3. I do not listen to any other station, lol.

            They play a lot of good country, George Strait and Toby Keith are my favorite though.

              That black looks awesome! Looks better then showroom!
              There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

                    Same here, in fact I think George Strait is my all time favorite replacing Jimmy Buffett. I guess if and when we ever meet up we won't have to change the radio dial!
