    Ford Focus Mk1.5 Paint Correction.

    Finally finished correcting the paintwork on my car!

    It's taken around a month doing one panel at a time.

    More pics than writing

    Process

    • - Shuts agitated with APC and Aldi paintbrushes

    • - 2BM with Chem Guys citrus wash and gloss

    • - Wheels and body work Ironx'd

    • - Bodywork clayed with Bilt hamber auto clay - Regular

    • - Machine polished with Silverstorm rotary

    • - Polish - Megs #105 & #205

    • - Wheels sealed with Autoglym Extra gloss protection

    • - Body glazed with Prima Amigo by hand.

    • - Waxed with collinite #915

    • - Trim and tyres treated with Poundshop special darkener!

    • - Glass cleaned




    Befores.













































    After polishing




















































































    Then today I glazed and finished all the little bits off.





















































































    Just needs lowering and remapping now :P

    oh and darker alloys, and colour coding.


    Please comment and tell me what you think!!

    i dont usually go for all this intricate detailing lark but on this one youve really brought that dark blue paint to life. in one photo the wing looks like its from a different car as the surrounding panels look black by comparison. the mirror finish will last a coons age.

    yeah, good work.

    Nice work.

    Wish you was closer i'd pop the Lexus over to you !! The guys down here at strawberry bubbles do a nice job for £15 but i'd rather pay someone like you the extra and get a decent job done.
