Giving my Fiesta S1600 a good wash, and replacing some rusty nuts!

[@joshravnn]

Would quite like more quick little videos like this for all the small jobs that you'll be doing on the car. Inspired me to order some polish for my own car nuts that have been neglected 👍🏼

[@CarFocused]

That’s good to hear. I’ve always just done these little jobs away from the camera but feel I should just film them moving forward - nothing to lose. Thanks for watching!

[@stevemahoney5209]

​@@CarFocusedYes pls Gary 😊😊

[@FakeConcern]

I told you I'd watch this sort of stuff!

[@CarFocused]

Haha you sure did 👍🏻

[@colin-hanlon]

You should add in the description all the things you used in the video…karcher, product X, mitt Y etc. Links to places to buy also.

[@CarFocused]

Not a bad idea 👍🏻

[@rugby86]

I heard squirrels, especially the red ones since they’re friendly, are the masters of polishing all kinds of nuts 😂. Only just found your channel, and already liking the vibe of good old British humour. Your Ford is definitely living a good life 😊

[@CarFocused]

😂 I actually have a resident squirrel in my garden that actually buries nuts in our lawn 😂

[@rugby86]

@@CarFocused bruh, haha! That’s actually hilarious 😂. We also have a grey squirrel which jumps over our garden fence, but passes by, then jumps into next door neighbours fence whenever she’s outside having a smoke, or reading etc. Bless her, she’s a lovely elderly woman, you hear her saying, “oh so you’ve popped along for more of nutts and seeds” 🤣. I want to believe that she’s not losing the plot lol!

[@michaelneill8428]

Great video Gary. Keep it up. 👏👏

[@CarFocused]

Thanks mate 😊

[@russrs959]

Cleans up real nice👌🏻..a set of springs and wheel spacers will have it sitting lovely. I’d recommend getting yourself a wheel nut impact socket to prevent the paint getting chipped when you remove the wheel nuts especially when you’re getting them refurbed.

[@CarFocused]

Thanks mate. Yes eibachs are on the list as my standard springs need replacing anyway. Yes already have the impact sockets work the plastic sleeve on them 👌🏻

[@CHUNKYLOZZA]

Actually looks like a cracking little car mate. In my opinion you cannot beat a white car. Keep the videos coming mate, proper project car.

[@CarFocused]

Frozen white is insanely white too, really pops!

[@wellwh0]

lovely little car

[@CarFocused]

I love the little thing 😊

[@keithhedley1392]

Aqua wax is brilliant stuff, nice little video I know it must be hard working to edit and unload but it's appreciated 👍👍

[@CarFocused]

Always used autoglym, has never failed me 😊 Thanks for watching mate!

[@markb68]

Good to see short vid doing jobs on the car. Always used Autoglym myself too. Nice to vary it up with the length and type of vids on the channel. Look forward to the next one whatever that is! 👍🏻

[@CarFocused]

Can’t go wrong with autoglym Mark. Been in the game for many years 👍🏻👌🏻 Thanks for watching as always!

[@teddy5069]

Will be interesting to see the wheels re furbished.

[@CarFocused]

I’m going to approach a local company to see if they fancy doing a collab 👍🏻

[@jake15470]

That backbox loose cud be the hanger snapped very common and if so any exhaust shop could weld a new hanger on just make sure its same height so it site in recess like factory 👌

[@CarFocused]

I’ve checked the hanger mate it’s corroded but still intact. The rubbers just seem a bit sloppy now, going to order a new set form Ford 👍🏻

[@jake15470]

@@CarFocused ive heard the focus rs mk2 yellow ones are a good upgrade just the 2 backbox ones only! Also mine corroded and snapped but i bought a replacement one from ford not available anymore so welded new hanger on mine and stored the genuine exhaust away for a rainy day when i really need it 👌

[@CarFocused]

@@jake15470 yea the yellow RS ones are wicked. I renewed them on my RS a couple of years back and they’re solid 👌🏻

[@rsjamie9423]

I still watched it 👍

[@CarFocused]

Thanks Jamie 😊

[@seanhammond4527]

Cracking video 😊😊

[@CarFocused]

Many thanks!

[@Wootoast78]

What jetwash you got and have you got the extended lance hose?

[@CarFocused]

Karcher K4 with the standard length hose 👍🏻

[@carsoftheuk]

It’s usually the smaller stuff that makes the biggest difference I find!

[@CarFocused]

All in the details 😉

[@Thegrandtourst200]

Looking good…. What happened to the stubby gun 😊

[@CarFocused]

I still have it, just forget to use it 😂

[@stevemahoney5209]

Any recommendations for a replacement back box to my original that won’t wake up the neighbours 🤣🤣 but would make a nice sound for my ‘17 Fiesta ST Gary. Maybe Mountune 🤔🤔

[@markb68]

@@stevemahoney5209 I’ve got a Mountune (cat back system though) on mine and it’s just the right tone and volume for me. Also my mate who installed it said build quality and fitting was spot on too. 👍🏻

[@stevemahoney5209]

@markb68 Sounds great 👍🏻 Def don’t want it too loud. What's a Cat Back system 🤔 Cheers pal, this helps 😃😃

[@markb68]

@@stevemahoney5209 cat back is still keeping the standard catalytic converter as opposed to turbo back which can include a decat (MOT failure due to emissions) or a sports cat. Scorpion is another make to maybe look at too. 👍🏻

[@stevemahoney5209]

@@markb68Cheers Mark 😃😃

[@grahamstephens9931]

You've inspired me, Gary. My neighbours will now bear witness to me, a near 45 year old man, polishing his nuts on his driveway 😂

[@CarFocused]

@@grahamstephens9931 😂😂

[@Holdeenio]

I know it’s a pretty different car, but knowing your timeline, are you still happy with your choice to sell the Focus ST? 🤔

[@CarFocused]

Totally mate. As much as I enjoyed it, and improving it, selling it was the right choice.

[@Holdeenio]

@@CarFocused it made for an interesting watch for sure. Onto pastures new 👌🏼👍

[@WoodhouseF15]

Nuts aside 🤣 more vids the better! 👍🏼

[@CarFocused]

Haha I’ll do my best 👍🏻

[@forgedbyiron3839]

I’m actually thinking to go buy this car today to down grade from my golf.

[@festerluv9523]

What brand were the locking nuts? Misheard you at the start. Cheers

[@CarFocused]

McGard 👍🏻

[@Mr330d]

I know it’s pretty boring to most people but I’d be interested to see a fuel economy challenge

[@CarFocused]

I’ve never done that before to be fair. Maybe a future vid….👌🏻

[@DougMackenzieMTB]

Random question. You weren't driving this on the A417 just south of Ashperton on Saturday evening around 7:40pm by any chance?

[@CarFocused]

Nope wasn’t me mate!

[@DougMackenzieMTB]

@CarFocused haha, in that case, your little Fez has an identical twin sister kicking around in that area. Love the content, keep up the stirling work. 👍

[@CarFocused]

@@DougMackenzieMTB haha. Quite rare cars now so good spot!👌🏻

[@stevemahoney5209]

I have that Auto Glym Express Wet Wax which I received in a gift pack 😊 I’ll have to dig it out 😃😃🛞🛞
