20 Year Old Ford Focus Deep Clean - Exterior Auto Detailing

This 2001 Ford Focus is about to get its first detail ever in 20 years! This video shows a thorough deep cleaning of the entire exterior of the car: deep cleaning of the wheels, washing, decontaminating and polishing the paintwork with a one-step polish and wax. To top it off I also revived the faded plastic trim on the car. Of course a lot more could be done to this car, but after this treatment the car already looked so much better!

[@iDropPhats]

I love all the newer cars that you feature on the channel, but these older cars being brought back to life is so satisfying. I know it’s not entirely up to you, but showing more classics would be incredible. Old focus RS’s, skylines, even American classics would be excellent additions to the channel! If there are absolutely ANY around you, get them on here, we’d love to see them in all their glory restored to perfect condition by ours truly!

[@autodetailz5483]

Super satisfying!

[@zehraaltun7205]

[@rafaelroma1657]

I wish I could ship you my Focus from Brazil to have this level of cleanup.

[@kevinb7058]

Great to see older cars being brought back to life 🤩👍

[@autodetailz5483]

It definitely is

[@kodraedmond]

i had plenty of cars, but i swear this is thr best car i ever had... owned a Focus 2003 TDCI 1.8 Diesel... is the best best best car i ever had... Love u Ford!

[@g4holla]

Love seeing the regular cars too. You can take pride in your ride no matter how much it cost ✊

[@calogero848]

Yeah, Every cars deserve to shine

[@seanoliver4531]

The mk1 /mk1.5 Ford Focus never gets old still looks like brand new car design 20+ years later mint example here 😎

[@gpaje]

I love an old Focus, thanks for doing such a great job one one. Chris Harris recently said that he hasn't driven a hot hatch that handled better than a MKI Ford Focus, and if he went broke and only had a few quid, that would be the car he would buy.

[@keithlestrange4249]

Its why i always stick with a focus

[@user-lu8ly8dd6i]

I can feel about your attitude
how much you love with this car what the legendary car is

[@rayray5280]

Amazing a ford focus that old with no damages to the paintwork mint alloy wheels

[@Luigi_Cadorna]

I have a Ford Focus from 2005 and it's starting to rust all over which is common on all focus cars.

[@GmanTheTank]

Old Focuses are such nice looking little cars.

[@PetrolHeadBrasil]

I'm so happy to see an Focus getting all that attention! I had a 2007 GL and I miss it so badly....

[@scootytamra]

I have a 15 year old Focus that i love! That 20 year old looks amazing! Great work!

[@AndreNae-Lin]

Never disappointed with your work ethics, efforts and results ❤️

[@autodetailz5483]

They are really inspiring

[@mansmart8416]

I had the same car 2004 model. Reminds me my old days. Thank you. You did a great job!!

[@tedlym.3390]

The Focus looked fabulous when you finished detailing it. Thank you,

[@alikomser4218]

Araç yaşına göre çok bakımlı bir araç, kondisyonu çok iyi. 10 sene boyunca 2001 modelini kullandım, çizgileri bu kadar güzel bir Focus 1,5 Türkiye'de görmedim. Temizlik ise mükemmel oldu, tebrikler

[@AzzurroWolf]

Excellent work - always satisfying watching an old car being shown some love 🚗💙 oh, and loving the kicks too man 🔥

[@autodetailz5483]

The kicks are fire

[@alexandresilva6172]

From Brazil
Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho, isso mostra que não existe carro velho, existe carroal tratado e que uma limpeza bem feita, muda o aspecto do carro e deixa com cara de carro novo.
Ganhou mais um inscrito!

[@ramostorrens]

Old, but gold. Fantastic work, congrats!!

[@kristijan893]

This makes me want to go and detail my Focus Mk1 right now :D

[@not_donner]

You're one of the few who details regular cars and I love it!

[@commuterbranchline8132]

I owned this exact model back in 2004. I got it as an ex demo with 10 miles on the clock for the princely sum of £10,750 for a new car! Thanks for sharing!

[@WillMorgan89]

I had one of these, in the same colour (Moondust Silver), and I cherished it, washing it religiously,. I found this colour of paint was really forgiving for minor imperfections. Unfortunately my Focus did rust away like many of the other Fords of its era. Fantastic video, and what a transformation! :)

[@Dascalu96]

No commercials, perfect quality, beautiful car and a good work !

[@autodetailz5483]

Great work!

[@Andyc515]

Wow that's how you clean your motor! Awesome detailing job 👏

[@neicardoso1373]

Your work on super sports cars is wonderful, but in this popular car... icon work... pure passion! Very nice!

[@IBELONG2CHRISTJESUS]

I have a 07 Ford Focus and it could definitely use an exterior cleaning like this one. Great job!

[@CatWhiskerClaws]

There's something so nice about seeing cars that regular people drive being taken care of professionally.

[@M3_Foss]

What a satisfying video! I like that you are having a nice mix of cars, new and old. Great content! You gave that car new life!

[@autodetailz5483]

The mix is perfect

[@valdirjose7118]

Congratulations for this video 👏👏

[@3bp82]

I like your videos, you show every detail and the best without speeding up the video.

[@schmitz6375]

Looks like a brand new one. Congrats!

[@yournightmare9999]

I glad that you deep clean your focus after 20 years 👏🙂

You did such a amazing job as always 😍

[@autodetailz5483]

Spectacular!

[@P4SDetails]

I’m always so impressed by how consistent your lighting is when you are doing the exterior detail outside. Probably because you are just epic and make it happen, but I think it is awesome. Another great video bru.

[@stilovinylo]

A master at work

[@Fabricedrd]

Terrific Job ! 👌🏽✨ So satisfying to watch as always ☺️

[@autodetailz5483]

It’s always so satisfying

[@hectorhaus1823]

Got one of these, 04 model, still looks great after a good clean. Brilliant car for the money, plus spares still available cos there were so many made.

[@AntonioLopez-yq1zq]

Great video. Great work. Great car.

[@lucianoalvarez6619]

Tremendo trabajo y gran auto! 👏🇦🇷

[@DonDomel]

Watching this remind me how I detail my Focus :D

[@autodetailz5483]

That’s great

[@jamesnewbould2469]

Seeing that focus all shiny inside with the lights shining off it reminds me very much of getting a new car in gran turismo

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

That soft big wheel face brush is key . Great video

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

Everything deserves love and attention 🤩

[@florianb3176]

very nice detailling!

[@berkc06]

I wish someone clean my Focus Mk1 too lol. Amazing work, nice to watch.

[@formula1ccr8]

Ik dacht dat ik goed was in schoonmaken van m'n auto, maar dit is van een compleet andere level. Top werk!

[@MixbyElio]

Outstanding 👌👍

[@LilCubano78]

Love your channel man... My type of ASMR.... Keep up the great work!

[@autodetailz5483]

Fabuloso trabajo 🤯

[@tuliohenriquedias6085]

A satisfação de ver esse trabalho é gratificante.😄

[@thomasrhinehart6084]

here in the states i have an 03 focus unfortunately rust has overcome most of it, mechanically it is wonderful, but Michigan is a nightmare and I am not the original owner, it breaks my heart because it still drives wonderfully, but its days are numbered, I can watch this and remember what my little car once was. .
