£100 challenge! Surviving a filthy Ford Focus detail. 

Your videos are some of the most down to earth and real detailing videos on RU-vid. No staged bollocks, no fancy over the top nonsense, just honest hard work. Keep up the great work 🚗

I’m flipping cars as a hobby business and way to fund my classic car disease. At the start of the year I tried to up my game. Full detail and machine polish, engine service, fresh mot, paper mats, air freshener etc. Big effort and very time consuming. To my surprise it went against me. The cars were so well prepared people were treating me like a garage retailer, asking about warranty etc and were even a little standoffish as to why the car was so clean (I know it’s crazy). It took me 4 weeks to prep and sell 3 cars. I’m lucky to have a good supply so I can sell as many as I can get through. I’ve now gone back to a case by case basis and give them ‘what they need’. Clean, safe and well presented in the ad. I’ve sold 6 in the last two weeks. I suppose what I’m saying is sometimes the extra effort does not necessarily mean extra reward. Stack em deep and sell em cheap.

One thing that I love about this channel - other than the tremendously calming editing and presentation style - is specifically the attention given to cars like this. While I'm sure we all enjoy seeing pampered garage queens worth six figures being brought back to better-than-showroom condition, (or "barn finds" that turn out suspiciously free of the kind of blemishes that a car that's been sitting for 20 years should have), the reality is that when most of us get out our buckets and polishers at the weekend it'll be to work on a car like this. And in some ways the transformation is even more impressive for it. I totally agree that there's something immensely satisfying, especially in this disposable age, in bringing a car that many people would assume is ready for the scrap heap back to a condition where someone can love driving it for many years to come. Great work.

Another cracking job Phil, it's great to see those old cars looking great again

Nice job as always. You’ve added £1000 value to the car. Could you consider including the exterior clean footage, as I quite enjoy watching them as well

Yesssssss😂😂😂😂 i was waiting for this one. You ranting on the hubcaps is just gold. But i remember you saying. "He looked at the shelve and saw bad, awefull and horrendous and went with the last" 😂😂😂 glad it's back online

Great job as usual Phil and great to see your work back on line👏🏼

Great job as always, the Phil-in jobs always help 😂 I can't put my finger on why but your videos are always good to watch...please keep them coming.

Always enjoy your videos.

Smarter than 99% of cars in our local Tesco car park...

What an awsome job as usual. Shame it was all cheapened by tack wheel trims. A set of descent 2nd hand alloys would have made such a bigger improvement

Brilliant work as always Man! :D

For all of that work your price was a bargain! Great content as always look forward to the next video!

A great result for £100 who could argue!

that's an amazing job for £100 and alot of work so someone got a bargain, you probably doubled the value of that car easily i would say

Great work please can you tell me what extractor you use

£100 is quite plenty to charge.

What Tar Remover do you use?

You selling it ? 👌🏻

Great job...however those god awful wheel trims!!!

I love it when an older, cheaper car turns out as nicely as this Focus. Great job, a new buyer on a budget will be happy!

00:00 - 00:43 I love your explaination of why you do these cheap car turnarounds 😂 Just so much better than those over the top American detail RU-vid channels

A car has been saved. Again. Lovely to see. Cheers!

Hi, do you have a link for wheel trims please? Got a few people I want to annoy.

Brilliant, what a transformation! I could watch your videos all day long, way more interesting than super cars!

That’s a brilliant transformation, really enjoy these turnarounds!

Fantastic as always

Great work and great value for money if you see the amount of effort. Very cool!

I've said something similar before I think but nice video, and I know it's a balance between your natural inclination to detail a car as good as you can, and the money you'll earn from it and time it takes, but you have a great attitude 👍🏼 enjoyable, top marks mate

Interesting as I would consider £100 expensive I would say top £75

Good work, you kinda remind me of myself. You've gained a subscriber

Legends knows this is a reupload

Have you given u on RU-vid ? As no new video for 8 weeks , hope to hear from you soon 👍

Probably a bigger uplift in value on these than derailing an already nice car

When you said polish the profit I thought you weee going to say polish the turd!! Awesome job as usual!

What drill do you use with the brush attachment?

Absolute bargain for a hundred quid.

Really enjoyed this content 🇿🇦

Very discussing

1st class work and video as always 🎉

Wobbly Wheel Trims Of Death! You will find these beauty’s usually lay at the side of roads, stuck worryingly at head height in a hedge or if you are really lucky, flying down a dual carriageway at your car like an Olympic discus!

Honestly mate, make an Amazon shop with commission. Simple stuff like 303, bilt hamber, brushes etc your gonna earn something might not be much but 30 a week pays some bikl

Random question- is that a G Shock GW-2500 you are wearing by chance?

I don't know how about 'A nice improvement' it looks a,millions × better than it did ! You earned your money on this that for sure 🙂 🎉

You did a great job on this. Re the dressing under the bonnet, where do you buy it? Do you buy in bulk(5l perhaps)?

Love your videos

Love your vids, 1 question do you paint the lacquer over the touch up ??

Excellent video - Excellent Work!

👍👍

Excellent work. Can I ask, what product do you recommend and use to remove tar spots from paint? I have a few on my light grey car, but don't want to damage the paintwork.

Beautiful!!!! I also have a senior Focus 2008 2 door and i love it, You did a beautiful job making that old Focus look awesome for it's next owner!🥰

Very satisfying 👍😃

Impressed 😮 came out so clean all round ❤

That's £200 all day long

Ça fait plaisir de revoir vos vidéos🎥 👍👍.

And is it worth it doing all that work for only 100 pounds?

Superb Phil. You were probably a bit generous on the level you went to for the money. But it just shows how a bit of effort can bring an old car back to looking really nice..............except the wheel trims 🤣

Another diamond...thanks to you Phil...very well done! My favourite detailer on RU-vid handsdown😁🙌🏼

Fantastic video and work as always. Love them. I love doing transformation valets..seeing the end results. Always look forward to your videos my favourite.

So happy you are back to regular posting. I missed having you in my feed. Keep up the great work !

That looks incredible for £100 top job mate 👍

Great job. Aerospace 303 is a good product, used it for 18 years

Another fantastic job!

Quality work as always 👊💪👍

Hello,what a difference to how it was before,so much cleaner and the interior is great.the wheel trims make it so much better.
