Damoegan's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra

[Damoegan]

Just a few random shots after it was detailed

 

[Damoegan]

I love this one ^^^^^^^

how much did it cost for your detail, what did it involve and how long did it take and has it removed many scratches? Sorry for all the questions but my car is black too and want to know if ot worth getting this done and if so what kind of detail as theres probably differnt levels you can get done? I have a new quater panel and they machine polished it and it looks swirly and rubbish!

 

[Damoegan]

it only cost me £60 for a machine polish and wax. But he told me that almoste every panel has had paint at some point and poor paint at that. So he could only give it the very lightes of machine polishes because he doesn't know the thickness of the paint and didn't want to go through the paint.

He washed & dryed it first then machine pilished it and applyed 2 coats of wax, he also done door shuts, sills and wheels. It is much better than it was before but I'm thinking about getting it sprayed now as I'm still not 100% happy with it.

Thanks for that sounds good for £60 have to try and find someone round my area that can do as I spent hours claying last weekend, all nice and shiny and feels like glass but lots of scratches some of which according to Ad Lav can been polished out. I love/hate my black car!

 

[Damoegan]

Forgot that he also clayed it twice too.

Try a search on yell.com for car valeting services in your area, thats how I found the company that done mine.

 

[Aimez]

Yeh will do a search for sure, I presume all detaillers clay first as theres not much point shoving tonnes of wax over the car without doin that first. Claying is THE best thing I've ever done to make the painwork its best, hopefully mine can look like yours especially in the first pic look fantastic!

Small update. Took off the strut brace as it was rubbing on the engine cover and doing my head in. Gona order a seat sport one when I'm back from holiday.

My SEAT Sport strut brace rubs too! Just took a bit off the back of the engine cover with a dremmel tool. Not a great job but doesn't rub or knock anymore...

Car looks great!

I thought the seat sport one's dont rub on the engine cover or airbox

Still gona get one though

 

[Aimez]

mine sits right on top of the air box may rub i dont notice really

 

[Damoegan]

It must be close then Aimez. If it does rub when I get it I'll just put a few washers under it to space it up a little.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

[Damoegan]

More confirmation:

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Doesnt catch on the engine cover either.

 

[Damoegan]

The cupra engine cover looks a little bigger to me but I'm sure it will not foul.

Different engine cover to the 20vt lump! My clears the airbox fine but rubbed on the raised bit covering the recirc valve! Cut that bit back... Will get pics up soon!

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Strut brace issue... CLICKY

 

[dancupra]

it clears the tdi lumps but the 20vt it rubs slightly so you need to trim the cover.... as for the air box, it shouldnt as mine doesnt.

 

[Damoegan]

Do you have a pic of how much you needed to remove mate?
