LM_ GAUCI messaged me stating that his MK3 Imperial Blue Ibiza Cupra was indeed of some tender loving having stressed that he doesn’t want to park the car under any lights as he can’t bear the swirls.
It was agreed that lm_gauci would clean the inside of the car so that I could concentrate on the body work. Good thing we did do that because the paint correction took a good 9.5 hours!

Here is how the car was when I turned up. On initial investigation the car was “clean” as it only washed last week. The wheels were lovely Porsche rims and being only two weeks old they were very clean.
Before
Wheels
Cleaned the wheels with Megs APC. Used a very weak dilution ratio.
Plastics
All the plastics were cleaned with a stronger Dilution of Megs APC.
