Ford Fusion Clay

I’ve clay’d, polished and waxed the OH’s Fusion over the last few days. Took about 6/7 hours in all. The paintwork was in good condition, just never really cared for. Since we’d had the car its been washed with a mit and Gold Class Shampoo.

Order: Wash with Gold Class shampoo, clay, Wash again, Cleaner, Polish, wash again and Wax.
