"I've been detailing as a hobby for over 4 years and have always used products from yourselves, along with the advice from your website. I've wanted to enter your competition for a long time, but haven't felt that confident after looking at the winners each month. However, I now feel ready.

The car is a 2009 Ford Focus ST-3 in electric white. It was given a full correction detail just over a year ago when I first bought it, and up until now always wore Blackfire Midnight Sun Paste Wax, which I could not fault. However, it's always nice to try something different.

After reading many good reviews Wolf's Chemicals Body Wrap was going to be my choice, along with their Glass Guard. The detail was quite simple as the car is always garaged and rarely used in bad weather.

I started out by foaming with Meguiar's Hyper Wash. After rinsing, it was then washed with Blackfire Conditioning Shampoo, using lambswool and microfibre mitts, and the two bucket method. The wheels, tyres, arches and engine bay were washed with R222 Total Auto Wash.

Wolf's Chemicals Decon Gel was then applied and left to dwell. Very little contamination was revealed, but after rinsing I still clayed the bodywork with Wolf's Chemicals Fine-Grade Detailing Clay, just to be on the safe side. The car was then dried off with a PB Luxury Drying Towel and moved inside.

Next, I set up halogen work lamps and inspected the paintwork. The condition was still very good, with only slight evidence of marring, so I tackled this with my SIM180 rotary polisher, a finishing pad and Menzerna 85RE.

Once the polishing was finished the paint and glass were given a thorough wipe down with IPA ready for the Body Wrap and Glass Guard. These were both applied with a Meguiar's Microfibre Applicator Pad. Two coats of each product were applied, for even coverage.

The exhaust pipes and rear silencer were polished with Meguiar's NXT All Metal Polysh, and then sealed with Backfire All Metal Sealant. The wheels were sealed in the same way, and the tyres then dressed with Gloss It Signature Tyre Gloss.

All unpainted exterior trim was then dressed with Poorboy's Trim Restorer using a foam pad. The engine and wheel arches were dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant and left to dry. Finally, the interior glass was cleaned with 3M Glass Cleaner. I hope you like what I've achieved because I can't stop smiling when I look at my car!"
