Title: Deep Gloss Auto Salon: 2001 Ford Focus - Detailed
Post by: Deep Gloss on April 06, 2009, 03:09:27 PM
Deep Gloss Auto Salon
2001 Ford Focus

This vehicle belongs to a young lady that is in her 1st year of college. As you would expect, the paintwork on this vehicle was in horrid shape.

I decided to use M105/M205 and the Kevin Brown PC (Flex) method on one half of the car and my rotary on the other half using SIP/106ff.

Obviously this was not a detail in which perfection was on the docket but, I found it “post worthy” because it is a vehicle that the “Average Joe” can afford and it is also in pretty typical hammered shape, just like 90% of every vehicle I see on the road.

Apologies for the lack of sun shots but it was quite late when I finished.

Wow Jason! That came out beautiful… I wished I was closer to you because I would gladly join your client list.  I need to find a detailer with your dedication and attention to detail.   Last person that detailed my car ripped me off and did more harm than good…
