My Focus RS Heritage Edition is ready to be prepped ahead of some adventures to come! Gtechniq invited me to bring it along to their HQ to apply Ceramic Coating and learn more about how it works, including how we've previously applied it at Topaz on top of the PPF fitted to various of my cars. First up it's taking the RS through a full wash and setting things up for what comes next.

@@Comand86n2 - technically it's like car wrap. And some butcher can buy a film and apply cheaply. Let's say material cost 500 gbp. But ... Now comes the tricky part. Some companies remove details others don't. Some companies have templates - Hypercars.... Sometimes you have to do bespoke films. Obviously London bus wrap cost more than London cabbie. And again- how many people work on the car and how many hours it takes. So I estimate - the big luxury car as S class will start from 1500 in good garage. Average Joe asks maybe 1200???? Exotics? No idea as this is League of their own...

That whistling noise may be because you don’t have a Sound Suppression Chamber installed. The SSC is not part of the FPM375 but Is recommended when fitting the FPM375 to avoid whistling caused by air flow through the metal induction system that is part of the upgrade kit. I’d be surprised this was not fitted as part of the Heritage Edition standard upgrades but then it’s worth checking. That sound would really annoy me on my own Focus RS which I got the FPM375 and SSC fitted to. Great vids though and love these cars! Hope this helps if you read the comment. 👍

Here's a quick summary Clean wheels with some W6, but spray most of it on the discs, then apply a citrus cleaner and power wash off. Power wash the car with water. Spray the body of the car with W6 , surprise .... there is almost no dirt as the car is brand new with just circa 600 miles on the clock. Snow foam the car and power rinse. Apply citrus cleaner Then was the car with the two bucket method Power hose car down Apply W7 and guess what, there's ****ing tar spots visible on it . Dry the car the polish the car with a proper mop. ( This then takes off a very fine layer paint which negates everything you have just done.Remove residue with microfibre then panel wipe. I can't wait for part two !
