Welcome Adam!

Welcome Duncan!

Welcome Tracy!

Welcome Rick!

Welcome Ben!

Well I finally got around to cleaning the interior this weekend. Floor mats were filthy with all the salt, the dash and center console had a light layer of dust, but otherwise not too bad. Before Pictures (Sorry again, pictures aren't great all I have is my iPhone and I'm not the best photographer so pictures are slightly grainy) Vaccuumed and then cleaned using Total Interior Detailer on all surfaces but glass and carpet. Cleaned inside glass. The ST not being huge made cleaning the interior much easier as there wasn't a ton to clean. After Pictures: Also decided to clean exterior again, and while cleaning the exterior glass dropped glass cleaner spilling 1/3 of it on the ground. And then for some reason I could not hold onto the glass cleaner at all proceeded to drop it 4 more times. Apparently 5 drops is limit before black casing on sprayer breaks off. Sprayer still works though, but looks like I will be purchasing some extras in my next order

Ben!

Justin! Nice car!

Yea I'll have to keep an eye on them but our garage never seems to go below 40/50 degF. Helps a lot there are apartments on all but the garage door side of it to keep it warm. Able to work in t-shirt or light sweatshirt in the garage year round

Chris!

Ryan!

Patrick! Love the car and the color! I debated between my silver ST and a Tangerine Scream one

Yea I can't wait to try it. Going to try and use it this weekend. All the products do smell great, which is a big plus and definitely can be tempting to drink, but yea probably wouldn't be a good idea Yea the ST's do clean up pretty well, the rinseless wash left a pretty good shine on top of another company's sealant, but I plan to fix that this spring with one of the Adams Sealants

Same it would be nice to be doing the wash outside in some warmer weather Yea the day flew by I was having too much fun

Well I finally made my first order and got first try with the rinseless wash seeing it's still too cold to do a full two bucket wash. I got a brand new Focus ST in November 2013. This is my first car that wasn't 17+ years old, so I finally cared to try and take care of the car and not scratch up the paint. Decided I was going to try and get everything I needed in one order, minus any polishing stuff (it didn't fit the budget right now, and if there are any scratches on the car I haven't found them other than on the headlights and black plastic trim between doors. So decided I could wait on those items until I had a little more money. Well on to the good stuff... Adams boxes arrived in the morning while I was at work and that was torture knowing I couldn't leave work to go open them. I was really amazed that everything but the 4 double soft towels fit in the wash buckets, and my order had 40 some items in it (including the buckets) First bucket: Second Bucket: Opening this I felt like a little kid at christmas You can tell its cold out when the bottles deform a little after going from warm to cold temperatures, goes right back to normal though after opening. Wish I had a little more room to display more of the product a little more prominently, but this will have to do Well it's been a few week since I last washed the car and living in New England doesn't leave your car too clean during the winter Before Pictures: After cleaning the wheels and rinsing the big stuff off the car, ready to head back into the garage to try out the rinseless wash (just about 32 degrees out so I was starting to get cold and didn't want to be sticking hands into water outside despite the fact I filled them up with warm water inside), and since I have a garage decided to make use of it Used the Master Blaster Sidekick to dry off wheels and wheel wells as well as some of the small nooks and crannies around the car Buckets all ready to go Did a full rinseless wash to car and then used Sidekick again to get water out of crevices. Then misted car with detail spray and wiped down with a great white drying towel to get remainder of water off that double softs didn't pick up. Cleaned the exterior glass and then dressed the trim with SVRT and In and Out Spray. SVRT and In and Out Spray are great! Really like how they help the trim accent the paint. Looking back I probably should have cleaned the glass after the VRT, but still looks good Some after shots, sorry not the best angle or quality but all I could get right now. Ran out of time, but also really need to get a good clean done on the interior and excited to see how the Total Interior Detailer works out.

Welcome! I grew up in Framingham

Welcome. Good looking car there

Welcome, I just recently joined as well TheRyan seems to have brought a lot of us over from focusst.org Can't wait to get some products and try them out, haven't quite decided what I am going to buy first

Thanks Everyone!

I'm up in Vernon. Might have to send some questions your way

Just checking in from CT. New to this whole detailing thing. Coming from a couple early 90s Camrys that already had varying levels of damage so wasn't concerned with the paint too much. Got my first new car a 2014 Ford Focus ST and want to keep it in really good condition as long as I can. I have gone through all the Vol 8 videos once and hope to make my first purchase soon. I'll try and upload a picture soon Paint looks good, still haven't found any scratches or swirls yet, but the dealership scratched the headlights up real good, going to have to try and fix that at some point.
