Regular care of varnish (Focus Turnier 1)

Regular maintenance of the varnish is work that pays off, because a dull, weathered varnish surface makes the Focus unattractive to you and others: when you sell the car, an unkempt body will "take revenge" by losing several thousand. At first, new varnish is easy to maintain, quite enough regular washing, quick removal of traces of stone impacts, resin stains and insect residue. Later, when water droplets with undefined edges no longer bounce off a freshly washed car, it is time to maintain the varnish. Sun, rain, salt, dirt and other poisons of the environment have damaged the surface of the varnish.

Miracle product - varnish cleaner

The right product for your Ford depends on its condition. For new and well-preserved varnish, a soft polish is enough. It smooths out the varnish layer that has become rough due to environmental influences and mechanical impact. In addition, modern polishes are made with wax components that preserve the metal dress. But for new varnish, intensive cleaners are a real poison; for old and damaged varnish, this is the right product to get brilliant results.

Always worth a try - thorough nail polish care

The varnish cleaner has the effect of a polish, but its mixture contains abrasives that cope with even heavy dirt. Before you cover your weathered Focus with a new varnish, try using a good varnish cleaner: it is never too late to care for the varnish. Although varnish cleaners, as a rule, do not contain preservatives. Therefore, in the second stage of work, cover the prepared varnish with car wax.

"Poison" for nail polish care products - the scorching rays of the sun

It is recommended to renew the conservation of new or prepared varnish two or three times a year. This preserves the shine and increases the duration of the varnish protection. Most polishes and varnish cleaners are quite aggressive in sunlight. Therefore, it is better to work in the shade or in the garage, where the chemical compounds in the polish will not have a chance to corrode the varnish of your Focus excessively.

Stages of work

Before starting the varnish care work, thoroughly wash and dry the car.

First, test in a relatively inconspicuous place whether the varnish will transfer the polish. Be careful with varnish removers: apply them only in a thin layer, too much remover will remove more varnish than necessary. It is better to do this in several stages.

Apply polish or varnish remover with cotton or synthetic cotton wool (a fist-sized swab) or a soft cloth (not a synthetic rag). Rub in using gentle pressure in a circular motion. Always work on a small surface area only.

After a short time, a dry white coating will form, which is polished with a cotton swab in circular motions. Be careful on the edges of the old varnish: do not treat the same place for too long, otherwise you can rub off the varnish down to the primer.



Divide the body into sections of about half a square meter. If the surface is larger, you will not have time to polish. Overdried polish is difficult to process.



Turn the cotton swab over regularly or replace it, as its surface becomes clogged with wax particles and care product after a while.

Finally, wipe the polish with a clean cotton cloth to remove any remaining polish and cotton wool particles.



To make the varnish appear transparent and without shadows, the white coating is supported to a shine, pressing on a large cotton swab. If polishing movements are difficult, turn the cotton swab over or replace it.



If the preservative is almost repelled by the varnish when applied, the surface tension of the varnish is still too high. In this case, try using a soft polish before preserving.



Finally, wipe the surface of the varnish with a clean cotton cloth. This will remove any remaining film and, of course, the cotton wool fibers.

Varnish preservation agent

Apply car wax with a cotton swab. The size of the surface to be treated depends on the product used. Be careful: preservatives contain a high proportion of solvents. Therefore, ensure sufficient ventilation in closed spaces.

Apply the preservative with a cotton pad using circular motions and light pressure: even application increases deep shine.

The cotton wool should slide over the varnish with only a little resistance. Therefore, turn the cotton wool over more often and replace it in a timely manner.

If stripes or circles are visible on the varnish after conservation, then most often the reason is contaminated paint particles that remained after the previous polish. Repeat the process again on these areas.
