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.

Interior Process:

Trim:
APC diluted in 5 gallons of warm water used to cleanse all interior trim
Surf City Dash Away used to dress/protect all interior trim

Tires cleaned with Amazing Roll Off
Rims cleaned with Danase Tire Assasin

Tires dressed with Surf City Tire Pro

Rims finished with Duragloss Aqua Wax

I guess he has money to burn.  I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs.  Fucking amateurs.   :Smiley
