Hi all... as some of you will Have seen I have posted in a couple of threads but not realy introduced myself or my car...
Had it 2 weeks and am blown away with the looks, performance, toys and value for money... 59 plate with only 5K on the clock.
Already thinking of a remap and an exhaust... does any onme have any experience good or bad on same for this engine 2.0 TSI.
As you will see one of my hobbies is detailing and am more than happy to advise or assist where possible on any detailing questions.
For Now here is the car in question...
Excuse me but I lifted this post from my original on Detailing World...
Been a very long time since I posted anything on the forum... you know how it is... not enough time and never having anything meaningful to say...
Any who, picked up my new (to me) car last Saturday (26th Feb)... My previous car was a Mondeo ST which had served me very well with 120k in 4 years and never had missed a beat, but I felt it was time to move on and happened across the car in question, my Seat Exeo Sport, 2.0 TSI 59 plate with a only 5k on the clock.
No befores I'm afraid as I never thought to take any. Only mod thus far is the swapping out of the orange indicator bulbs up front for a pair of Osram Diadems...
Car was foamed with CG new Snow Foam, I dare say I could have went straight to LSP after this foaming, The finish it left was spotless tho' I am first to admit the car wasn't exactly dirty to start with...
Wheels were cleaned with Redberry at 1pt Redberry to 5pt water, this cleaned the wheels up leaving only minor tar to be removed (another time )
After the foaming and the wheel cleaning came the usual TBM wash with CG Glosworkz. I really do rate this shampoo. It feels very lubricated and does leave a really nice finish.
Washing complete I was now able to see the true condition of the paint, and I must say I thought it was looking pretty darned good, with only a couple of scratches and very minor tar deposits, tho' these would need to wait until another time...
If you haven't picked up on it yet, I am a major fan of the Chemical Guys range. The products are well priced, they are well packaged, they do as they claim and they smell fantastic, I know it should not be a major consideration when purchasing but it does make using them that little bit more enjoyable...
So having now foamed and washed the car it was time to dry, for this I used CG Spead Wipe, my go-to QD together with a Wooly Mammoth drying towel, this combo mkes drying a piece of cake.
Now time toput a little something on top... I decided to go with a relatively new product and a first time use for me, Chemical Guys Blacklight, as with so many of the CG products it was very easy to apply and more importantly to me easy to remove, I went round the car applying a very thin even coat, waited half an hour and removed using a Miracle Fluffer Microfiber... at this point I have to say I was blown away with the finish that was left, very glossy and super slick feeling. I had one more little trick that David from CG had advised; try going over Blacklight with a wipe of V7 spray sealant. I did this, using the V7 as a kind of quick detailer... I think the finish achieved by these 2 products alone is amazing, even more so when you consider how reasonably priced they are with how easy they are to use...
The wheels were sealed with CG Jetseal 109 and tyres dressed with Autoglym tyre dressing.
As I said, sorry no befores but here are some afters... as ever your thoughts and comments are most welcome.
Thanks for reading

PS If there are any other Exeo owners on here I would love to hear you thoughts and experiences of the car.
