Got a good deal on Groupon for a VAX carpet cleaner with attachments so decided to give it a go on the car seats. Hoovered the inside first then set about it with the VAX:

OMG didn't think they were that dirty!!!!!!

How much mate I'm looking at them now but only one has the attachments but that's £150

A lot better than the OEM SEAT one, is that not the mk5 golf one tho

 

[Bigjohn84]

Looks good but rather the rear fabia

Gave my tried wheels a freshen up.

Nice job there Drew, always a good feeling when you can stand back & enjoy your hard work and effort

Just finished washing exterior & and full clean of interior on both mine and the Mrs cars

 

[DrewCole]

Thanks!

They ideally need a full strip and power but this will do for now.

I'll give it a few days for the paint to harden then it'll be a clean and wax for mine.

Wow nice job. What paints did you use?

Wow nice job. What paints did you use?

I used Hycote paint.

After a really good degrease and clean I rubbed down any problem areas as best as it would, then:

2 coats of white primer inside rim and face.
2 coats of silver on the inside rim and 3 on the face.
3 coats on clear on the face

Came out okay, a little darker than stock but looks nice.

Replaced passenger side window winder lifters and cabling mechanism (After the original cheap plastic lifter snapped and caused my cable to get chewed up ) . Used the £10 eBay repair kit and fixed myself rather than the £50+ assembly with brackets.
Straight forward job but fiddly especially stretching the final bit of cable over the last pulley wheel but done and working ( yes I replaced the seal with butyl too )
