Well at least its got some protection on it now ...
I opted for Megs ultimate quick wax as A) I had a bottle in the garage and B) this stuff is so easy to use on wet panels / in damp conditions.
It beads really well and lasts quite well too, which is good considering the weather we have coming in this week.
In fact, I forgot how impressed I was with this stuff, how quick it is to use and the looks it provides - I'm now considering using it as a drying aid every few weeks to get me through the winter season
I still found a few areas that needed a little more spot claying and I would still like to spend a bit more time on the rear lights. Other than that its just the front bumper that's not been touched - I want to leave that as long as possible due to the transport damage respray.
I think I've got about 12 hours invested in the paintwork now, but remember that I took this car from the ford dealer 'untouched'. Judging by what the dealers seem to turn out it's been well worth it, (IMHO) the paintwork is now to a much higher standard than I have seen on anything in the local showroom
Wheels are the next thing to get detailed - not really looking forward to that job ...
WD
That plus engine bay were the two of the reasons I had mine professionally detailed, that and I have zero patience for something like that .
Detailer collected it straight from the dealer.
Full paint correction, car, wheels and engine bay.
Then Xpel self healing PPF to the front bumper, front wings, the bonnet, the "A" pillars, and the mirror caps.
Then Roof wrapped in gloss black.
Then Gtechniq Crystal Serum ceramic over the car, wheels, and engine bay, and Gtechniq Halo ceramic on the PPF, and wrap.
Ā£1800 all in, took him almost 12 days.
But over a year later, and a quick pressure wash and dry and everything just flows off. There is not a scratch on the car, the wheels are spotless after washing, the brake dust does not cling.
Bird muck and tree sap (we get a lot where we live) you can literally brush off with a hand and not leave a mark or stain.
Best money I have yet spent on the car.
