Tom diagnoses a badly leaking Ford Fiesta with mould on the seats and multiple leak sources: a failed door membrane, perished tailgate rubber, and rear air vents pouring water. All four door membranes replaced, bumper removed to reseal the vents, three nights drying, interior clean and odour removal, then rain arch tested.

A water leak turned into an opportunity. This Ford Focus came in leaking; it left polished, ceramic coated, and looking better than the day it rolled out of the factory.

Ford Fiesta end-of-lease inspection. Scratches, interior stains, scuffed wheel, small dents -- Gary explains why you should fix selectively, not everything, and how the lease company threshold works in your favour.

Ford Galaxy with a persistent chemical smell from a paint spillage that had reacted with the plastic trim. James and Harry cleaned the contaminated areas and neutralised the odour with specialist equipment.

Ford EcoSport contaminated with chip-seal bitumen particles drawn through the air intake into the ventilation system. Scuttle dismantled, UVA fog through ventilation on circulate, pollen filter replaced, Formula 429 throughout.

Machine polishing a Ford for a lease return -- coarse compound to cut scratches down, finer stages to finish, wax to seal. The aim is acceptable condition, not perfection.

Ford Mustang convertible hood clean and 2-year reproof. Hood was in decent condition. Drain flush, Krytox on rubbers, 3-month exterior wax added on special offer.

A Ford Ranger returned after a driver change. Heavily smoked in, load bed holding a broom, bag of sand, and a bag of wet cement that took Dave two hours and three buckets to remove. Interior shampooed, mats replaced from stock, rust treated, scratches buffed.

Ford campervan with both headlights completely misted -- MOT fail and dangerous at night. One side had additional Dremel damage from a DIY attempt. Done by hand. Six-stage cut and polish, Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic applied.

A nearly-new Ford Focus Estate in for graphene coating from new. We show why protecting untouched paintwork early gives a coating the best possible bond.

Ford Focus headlight restoration. Headlight replacement is hundreds of pounds -- polishing and resealing with ceramic is faster and far cheaper. UV coating degraded, plastic oxidised and yellowed: sanded back, polished, ceramic applied.

Ford Focus with coolant (antifreeze, pink) leaked into the interior after a system failure. Garage fixed the leak; we handled the cleanup. Seats out, underlay up, foam washed, carpet shampooed, dried overnight.

Ford Ranger commercial vehicle with Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic coating. The commercial case: less cleaning, longer-lasting appearance, working vehicle as company advertisement.

A 2009 Ford Fiesta with three entry points: cracked welded boot seams, leaking rear air vents, and door membranes failing on both sides. Two previous sealant attempts by a dealer hadn't touched the real causes.

Ford B-Max 2013 with soaking footwells. A previous garage had cleared the sunroof drains but not dried the car. James finds a leaking door membrane, a rear air vent leaking through its centre, and a loose scuttle seal. All three fixed; car dried.

The Ford Ranger had yellowed, clouded headlights -- past hazy and into MOT risk territory. Six-stage polish restored clarity and takes years off the truck.

This Fiesta came in leaking from two separate sources. While it was with us, the customer decided to go further -- polish, ceramic coating, wheel treatment. The result looks better than new.

A Ford Edge coated with Fireball ceramic protection -- five years of coverage on paintwork and wheels. Gary is looking forward to the owner's reaction when they come to collect.

A black Ford Focus that came in for a water leak -- and left with Fireball Super Hydro sealant as well. Gary's brother story: put the coating on his car, it rained, he came back to borrow the minibus and said "thanks for cleaning it." The self-cleaning explanation that actually makes sense.

A Ford RS coated with Matrix Blue -- three-year ceramic protection. The car had swirl marks throughout before the machine polish pass. Gary covers why half the washing, harder than paint, and the honest answer on whether you should try applying ceramic coating yourself.
