CSF vs Electric orange Focus ST

Hello,

There is only a few of ST in my country especially with electric orange paint. Im really happy to have this opportunity to detail it because this paint is amazing.

Beautiful color but in the end turned out the nightmare for correction.

Car on the arrival











The cleaning proces, first the wheels with APC, bilberry 8:1, EZ and various brushes





....





Engine with APC











Foamed with SSF+APC





washed with Z-7 and 2BM



Dryed and the lovly swirls began to show in all its glory













Clayed with Zaino





Taped



PTG reading was between 220-260ml only front and back bumpers were respreyed. Y tried different combinations and at the end ended with FCP and Ultrafina mix on polishing pad. This paint is not a rock hard but diamond hard





At this point the 500w reflector showed nothing so I had to use160lm battery light.



Before



After



hard to reach places were corrected with 80mm pads









before



after





some reflections after correction



exhauts with 3M metal polish



Lower spoilers were wet sended and then polish





Front lights

before



after



In the sun after correction













Car was then refinished with Ultrafina



Wiped down with Top inspection, Swisswax CF applied and LSP this time was two coats of BOS. Tyres got two coats of Z-16, engine 303, rubbers and plastic Glos IT T.R.F and glass Nanolex Premium.



































One week later and pictures with new difusor on the sun
