Washing a Ford S-Max with Built-Up Grime and Brake Dust

This Ford S-Max had gone a long while without a wash so had accumulated a lot of grime and some very baked on brake dust. The aim here was to revive the car as much as possible by giving it a proper clean and applying some protection.

The wheels on this car were probably the biggest challenge I’ve had yet on these videos due to the amount of corrosion. The brake dust was heavily baked on so required acid to remove it, but I needed to be cautious to avoid the areas which were already very corroded.

Some of the products were purchased by myself but the following were sent for free by the respective brands: Turtle Wax Hyper Foam, Garage Therapy Snow Foam, Sam’s Detailing Ceramic Foam, MJJC Foam Cannon Pro and the GB Detailing Brush. However I was not obligated to use any of the products in the video and all the opinions expressed are honest.
