My elbows and right arm were sore the past few days....so of course I decided to wash and apply paint sealant to the banana express. I finished around 7:30 after leaving work and starting it at 4:30. Totally worth it.

Beer o’clock now

Nice one mate.

Though three hours, lol.

That’s a quick clean.

((but I’m very sad, read pathetic, that way)) :)

Well I gave it a few touch less washes last week so the major dirt was kept away. We have a lot of pressure washer bays near me so I would often drop 2 bucks in the machine to hose off tree dust, road grime, and bird dirt before it baked on the paint.

Which package do you have on your ST? We drove a 2 today but I think I may splurge for the 3

Base model. The only option it has is the triple yellow paint. I like the seats, but if I had the budget I would’ve gotten the recaros. I loved the recaros in my FiST. But at 4000$ for the option package and this car needing to be a financially sound decision.....maybe next time.

I saw a picture of triple yellow with bronze wheels. Tempting.

I should note that triple yellow is one of the premium paints so the car gets a thicker and higher quality paint job. My FiST had so many paint defects in it, but then again all of them did. This focus ST has incredible paint. It shines up very nicely and looks amazing up close too.

If it is anything like my dads Yellow BRZ it probably shows all the dirt.

Maybe. I would Google it for more info. I don’t want to give you bad advice. It probably is if it costs a couple hundred extra.

Yuuuuuuppppp. But a good wax/sealant prevents the dirt from sticking

It’s a fun color so it needs a fun name!

One of my girlfriends saw your car and immediately said “That’s a bad name! The car’s name should be chief cotton candy! Or C3 for short!”

No way. The name came from the movie Yellow Submarine, and was named after this guy. I only have it for a week to review, sadly.
