Vicky Ellison - 2001 VW New Beetle Cup 1.8T
Ordered new from a German VW dealer over 11 years ago and lovingly cared for by hand with lots of water and soapy stuff ever since. Never been machine polished or wet sanded.
Like to keeping it looking clean and shiny but motorsport themed (body and engineering, including race engine) so designed to be driven - and it is!
Goes out in all weathers and not just in UK - a regular visitor to VW / tuner shows in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and occasionally Austria.
500+ miles to Europe in the pouring rain a speciality (especially this year!!) so have to expect the odd blemish.
Prep includes:
Bodywork soapy rinse, clear rinse, hand wash, rinse, dry
Wheels off - washed, dried, polished & sealed
Wheel arches, suspension, exhaust, brakes - cleaned and polished
Underbody cleaned (as far as can be reached!)
Bodywork hand polished (a couple of times if I get the time)
Windows cleaned inside and out
Interior vacuumed & cleaned, leather surfaces cleaned and fed
Engine detailed
Tyres dressed
