Ford Focus RS Frozen White

I first met the owner at a car meet and he bought a bottle of Feynlab Spray Detailer. We then went on to chat about a coating and he settled on Feynlab Heal Lite with Top Coat.

I set about thoroughly washing the vehicle and removing any tar and iron deposits from the paintwork and finishing off the decontamination process by using a clay sponge and spray detailer.

I used Feynlab F500 Medium Cut cutting compound to slowly but surely remove all of the scratches and swirling that was present on the paintwork. We used a variety of heads with the polish to get the paintwork to a blinding shine. We also deep cleaned the wheels by removing any tar and iron in preparation for the wheel coating.

We then performed a deep clean on the interior with all of the interior carpeting, rear seats and front seats getting an intensive wet extraction to remove any embedded dirt. We then full dried the interior and applied Feynlab Textile to the fabric of the seats, carpeting and removable mats.

While the Textile was curing we moved onto the exterior and applied Feynlab Wheel and Caliper to the wheel faces and allowed it to cure and removed the excess with a high quality GSM microfibre.

The pre coating stages are essential to how well the coating will bond and perform when installed and Feynlab has that area covered as well ! Feynlab Wash flushes out any oils or airborne contaminants that may have become embedded in the paintwork when polishing. We then follow that process up with Feynlab Prime which fills in any microscopic indentations that the polishing process could not remove and leaves down an excellent “key” for the coating to adhere to.

The exterior was then wiped down with Feynlab Panel Wipe to ensure a crisp clinically smooth surface.Ceramic Lite was applied to the windows and Plastic was applied to the window rubbers and windscreen cowling front headlight and rear tail lights to protect it from the high solid content that the Heal Lite coating has. The ceramic Lite was also put on the two bonnet vents which were aftermarket replacements for the originals that had faded very quickly after installation. The owner informed us that to have them replaced would have cost approximately €450 so he was ecstatic at the saving!
Feynlab’s 5 year Heal Lite 60% self healing coating was applied one panel at a time allowed to dwell and I removed any high spots to leave the paintwork gleaming. We then after the required time set out by Feynlab applied Top Coat which adds a hydrophobic boost to the coating leaving it silky smooth to the touch.
All of the panels of the cars were then cured using infrared technology at 60 degrees for 15 minutes which ensures an excellent cross link between the coating and the paintwork.

This was one of the grabbiest paints we have dealt with and it was very difficult to apply the coating to as the dwell times were reduced and varied quite significantly from one panel to another which we allowed for. This is where training and experience come to the fore and mistakes are eliminated.

Following on from this coating taking place we then coated a new aftermarket set of alloy wheels, wishbones, big brake conversion and intake plenum in Wheel and Caliper, carbon fibre sections under headlights and carbon washer jets were all coated in Ceramic Lite so literally every section of metal available has been coated in the relevant coating from the Feynlab range.
