Hi guys,

Thanks for taking the time to view another thread from us.

Here we have a Focus RS that needed some TLC. Owner requested some long term protection so we ended up using GTechniq to seal the paintwork and wheels.

First thing we did was remove the wheels and get them cleaned and decontaminated. Arches were also given a clean whilst the wheels were off.

Wheels were cleaned with Wolfs Decon Gel and then clayed. Wheels were then re-fitted for the wash stages, they were to come back off later in the detail to protect them with GTechniq and also to paint the brake calipers.
