butler2.8i

Today I did an enhancement detail on a friends Fiesta RS, this is really well looked after by the owner but isn’t a garage queen as it gets used and enjoyed by the on a regular basis. Products and equipment used Dodo Lime prime Dodo supernatural hybrid Uber microfiber towels Uber drying towel 3m yellow pads 150mm 75 mm Valet pro bilberry wheel cleaner Valet pro tyre gel Valet pro citrus bling Valet pro PH neutral snowfoam Meg’s hyper wash Autosmart Tardis German applicator Autosol metal polish 00 grade wire wool I4detailing orange clay bar Various wheel brushes Makita rotary polisher Karcher pressure washer Noodle wash mitt Uber Microfiber drying towel Poorboys microfibre clothes Snow foam gun 3m masking tape Finish kare 425 Jetseal 109 The car before I start I started by giving the car blast off with the pressure washer as it only really had light covering of dirt on it, the car was then snowfoamed using a mix of megs hyper wash and snowfoam .Whilst this did its stuff I cleaned the wheels using the bilberry wheel cleaner and various wheel brushes, these alloys are in good condition but have just been damaged by a tyre fitter whilst get new tyres fitted once the owner has sorted this with the garage he is going to have them powder coated at a new company that has just opened up in the town. This was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and washed using Meg’s hyper wash and the 2 bucket method and a wash mitt before being power rinsed off and dried. The lower parts of the car and inner arch lips where sprayed with Tardis which was left to do its stuff before being wiped down with a microfibre cloth The car was then rinsed off using a open ended hose and left wet before claying using citrus bling and water mix( 4 to 1) I4 detailing clay bar which didn’t really pull much from the paint work except some slight over spray it was then rewashed using the same method and dried using a Uber microfiber drying towel. Car was then taped up using 3m masking tape and the bonnet vents removed to be polished separately , a couple of quick 50/50 using the lime prime and 3m yellow polishing pads before getting on with the rest car. Then started to work my way round the rest of the car 50/50 0n the bonnet Full bonnet After polishing my way round the car with the rotary, I applied the Dodo supernatural hydrid wax/sealant using a german applicator pad and left to cure before buffing using poorboys microfibre clothes. Giving a cracking glossy finish to the paint that even the owner was taken a back by as he could not believe the finish left by the lime prime could be bettered. Exhaust was polished up using Autosol and 00 grade wire wool Before After The car was then given a final wipe down using Finishkare 425, and the glass was cleaned using neat citrus bling and the wheels were given 2 coats of Jetseal 109 by the owner and the tyres giving a coat of Valet pro tyre dressing. Leaving me with this.

Your a lucky man steve

Steve i`m really gutted for you matey you do seem to be having a unlucky run at the moment, but just remember you will come out of this stronger and wiser and things will start to look up.

I`ve got the history of my capri off the DVLA , it was first registered to the chief of police in manchester then used as motorway patrol car, have also used the history to contact some of its previous owners which resulted in me getting some free spares.

I ran my last 2.8i with the gtr280 kit on using the standard servo and master cylinder with no problems, am planning on fitting the same kit at the weekend to my present 2.8 using the standard servo/master cylinder but when i fit the rear discs i`m going to change them.

Nice one dave, you keeping at standard ride height ??

Wasn`t it all furry interiors back then proper pimp style, purples and greens, with jacked up chrome suspensions and all cars fitted with CB radios.

black grill with quarters

I think GMS ford spares (01913771718) still do genny ford ones, or you could try MWR (01283711658)
