maria Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Have been lurking and learning since I picked up Francis in February. Francis is my 2015 Ford Focus Titanium hatch. The Tuxedo Black is an amazing color but boy is keeping black looking good is going to be work! After picking him up I did a few things right away - having the entire front end and other high impact areas covered in Xpel ultimate film along with the mandatory Lumar ceramic tint all around. Love the paints flake! Hope there are some other DP fans! Now I am building my first shopping cart full of Adam's goodies and receiving the $5 flat-rate shipping and 10% e-mail, now seems like the perfect time! If there is anything you think is a must-have please let me know so I can snag it. ADAM'S NEW FOAM GUN WASH KIT ADAM'S BASIC H2O GUARD & GLOSS KIT ADAM'S WATERLESS WASH & TOWEL COMBO ADAM'S DETAIL SPRAY & VISCO CLAY BAR COMBO ADAM'S PERFECT VISION GLASS CLEANER & SEALANT COMBO ADAM'S LIQUID PAINT SEALANT KIT ADAM'S PERFECT INTERIOR KIT ADAM'S EDGELESS UTILITY TOWEL (2 PACK) ADAM'S MICROFIBER GLASS CLEANING TOWELS (2 PACK) ADAM'S GREAT WHITE MICROFIBER DRYING TOWEL 2 PACK ADAM'S NEW SINGLE SOFT TOWEL 2 PACK I have an idea of max purchase but I don't want to mess around and miss some must have. The thing I'm most torn are the interior products for keeping the interior leather looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maria Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Dont forget the wheel cleaner! It's the best there is! Not sure how the heck I forgot that... probably because I'd almost rather get different wheels. haha Tkitch92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkj4243 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Welcome Maria! Great looking Focus, especially in black! Your interior needs should be met with your purchase of the kit you mentioned above, but you may want to consider some Brilliant Glaze for the exterior to add some "pop" to the paint on occasion.

TheWolf Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Welcome to the forum Maria! The Tuxedo Black Metallic is a fantastic paint. Not sure what Ford was thinking when they switched over to the non-metallic Shadow Black. PS - Get some Leather Conditioner, it will protect your seats and smells so good.

b_pappy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Welcome Maria & Francis. (Glad there are others that name their cars) I would really like you to add Brilliant Glaze to your cart. The results on darks and metallics are nothing short of phenomenal! Enjoy. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Welcome Maria & Francis. (Glad there are others that name their cars) I would really like you to add Brilliant Glaze to your cart. The results on darks and metallics are nothing short of phenomenal! Enjoy. Bruce I have no problem with that - what you see now is using Black Magic after going over it with clay. That was all done before the Xpel was installed. What order should I be doing things, wash, clay, glaze? I'm not sure if/when the H20 guard would be used. My car used to sit outside but I quickly made it the garage queen next to Wanda. I typically do things over a day or two and so all the clay, wax inside our garage.
