After finding a tin of simoniz original wax in the father's garage, and using the wisdom of RMS and Mr Miyagi I gave it a try today.
Will be interested to see how long it lasts. Also strange now how smoothly my finger slides across my phone's screen. Must have a nice coat of wax on it too!

Been working away on a wee project for the banter, it'll soon be up and running - piecing together a bbk for the focus from eBay bargains. First up, some r8 rear calipers that needed a bit of tlc, painted and new seals.
New pin kit, thanks to @BBSBOY !
And a knuckle / hub off eBay so I don't have to pull apart my car to take measurements!
Discs and pads enroute from ecp.
Still just about on course for sub £400!

Its a great looking motor, I catch it about all the time in traffic and its always a few cars ahead or heading opposite direction. Just sits so much beefier on the road than my ST. Nice work with the brakes, hope it all works out

Cheers man, I always feel bad when you spot me and I'm 'in the zone' and never realise until you're down the road!
Picked up the brake discs earlier - the guy at the counter remarked he'd never seen such a size of a box. Just hope they're not wildly heavy but I'm sure if all works out well I could get 2 piece rotors down the line.
Once the RS hub arrives the brackets will be easy designed. Then it's lines and fluid and we're off!
I see why you wanted to change mate, too many memories!
Sounds good, hard to beat a bit more stopping power. I was near tempted by an M3 Alcon BBK for mine, but didn't have the £1400 it demanded

Initially with a more aggressive pad compound in the rears, but probably will fit the rears from a jag s type r (which has the same front calipers as the rear r8 ones I bought for the front). I don't expect the fronts to be massively more powerful than the OEM focus ones. I have a wee calculator here...

..that I'll check some of the options out on. But since the weight balance on the focus is waaaay more front biased than the jag s type, that could move the bias more rearward than I'd like, which is much worse than a balance moved slightly forward.
