K1 deep cleanse

Cupra k1 deep clean


Hey guy’s its new car time, and as always I was egar to get in there and get the car clean

Tbf to the previous owner it wasn’t terrible, you could tell it’s a genuine car.


So first things first,

The dirty pics, the usual stuff –

Mouldy bonnet insulation, leaves under the hood, crud in the nicks etc

So it was on with a very diluted autoglym cleaner and soft brush to get in all the nicks, followed by washing the car in autoglym tfr again diluted, wheels done with autoglym wheel cleaner then a soapy was off for the hell of it,

Car was then dried off and brought inside, I couldn’t use my trust ramp this time, as get this! Some one was actually using it for productive work!!! Not messing like me 

Masked up to hide the cracks and protect the rubbers, I also too this point prior to install my heko wind deflector. Sorry I don’t have any blue tape, im either not scene enough or too cheap ;)

Car wasn’t in terrible condition tbh so didn’t need a huge amount of work, just a few bits marred in places,

Products used were

3m fast cut plus
3m fine compound
3m ultrafine
Various pads
autoglym hd wax
autoglym glass cleaner
autoglym rubber dressing
autoglym tyre shine

this gave us these results

as I always say, spending time like this on your car, helps you get to find all the little bits, I now know I need dent master on two panels, and a few touch ups of chips, but all in all very happy with its condition

Just a good quality traffic film remover, you can use degreasers on hinges with grease on them, but remeber to re grease after
