Took my Leon for it's MOT today. then gave it a good cleaning session this afternoon as a reward for passing!
Got mine due in October... I'm hoping for treating her so well she will do me proud lol
How much to make my Desire Red Cupra bead that good?
It has to be able to maintain that level of beading all year round
Are you that good
lol

I've only just started doing this sort of thing properly but I guess it's me taking all day to just do the external that makes the difference.
Time, patience and a lot of 1200gsm buffing towels haha
Just booked in for an MOT on the 4th, she's got a good clean planned if she passes... If not then she's in the garage till i've got over it lol
I think so, karma is in all things. You treat something like rubbish then it will get it's own back.Cars have feelings too
Could tell on my drive to work this morning that it was interior cleaning day yesterday. 1:- sliding round on the leather seats and 2:- 
I've gone an applied vinyl n rubber to the steering wheel and handbrake again!!!

Sorry but that actually made me laugh lolCould tell on my drive to work this morning that it was interior cleaning day yesterday. 1:- sliding round on the leather seats and 2:-
I'm waiting to do that lol you need to do a cleaning checklist and just put it in as a note haha
Handbrake doesn't sound like a bad thing. Until your hand slips off it at every set of lights. Luckily I stopped short of the accelerator pedal (although I did coat the right hand foot rest - which is now rendered useless).
This is making my morning as it's stuff I do, knowing i'm not the only one makes me happy.
How long did you spend on the interior?
I really wished you hadn't asked that. I assign a weighting to the interior based on how often the space is sat in. So I don't clean the whole interior every time I do it. After all, no point in doing the back seats / mats when noones sat there. The passenger seat gets about 1/7th use of the drivers seat. So this weekend was dash, controls, drivers seat, front door cards. So all in all only took around 45 mins!
I gave the drivers seat an Autoglym leather cleaning (which I think is about the same as a wet cloth - but still). Then I treat it with the leather balm. Trub is with leather seats, it's near impossible to get out without crushing the bolsters!
Haha i'm now so glad I asked!
You do put some effort in before you've even started lol Yeah my back seats are there to look pretty... I don't trust many people to sit there with the glass black against their knees haha
I've got a full interior clean coming up next week I think, probably going to go completely over board again and spend a silly amount of time on it.
The bolsters should move on a slide downwards so you can get out normally lol mine don't look too bad currently.
Strangely, although noone sits in the back, I've still managed to get a footprint on the rear passenger seat you've now reminded me of grrrrr. Forgot to remove it. Although I did do the greasy fingerprint on the bonnet!
If I clean the lot, leather seats included it usually only takes me about 2.5 hours. I interior shampoo all the door cards and plastics and then vinyl n rubber them back up. Trouble is, it's addictive, especially when bits of grey starting turning black as you coat them. Before you know it your sliding into the footwell.
I must have a fat a$$ cause mine look awful. If money was no option, as much as I like the leather seats, I'd grab some Recaro's for the front.
You need to get the shoe size off that print so you can track them down... Did you have to do the whole bonnet in case the rest of it wasn't as clean haha normally I would clean the car before going anywhere but for an MOT I think i'll leave it till after.
Mine look like this... not sure if it's good or bad lol
That (for me) is a lot better looking and like you said lots cleaner! Hope you get the air ride sold!
Still debating removing the white vinyl as im a sucker for loving a good polished paint

Looks like it could do with a good clean imo
I’ve never had Leather Seats before. What’s the norm with cleaning and looking after them?
