Tomjw Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hey people! The suns out, I dont start work till 6pm and Ive drank 2Litres of coke... So ive got quite abit of energy I need burning! So I thought id detail the Loop Started off filthy as its yellow and all the paintwork had black stains on from previous dirt not being washed off correctly so looked horrible...Started off jet washing it down,Then washed each panel seperate then jet washed down so the sun didnt leave waterspots from dried suds,After washing each panel I cleaned the inner arches with the jetwash and foam attatchment (Soo much dirt came out due to being a carpet!),After the inner arches I got on the floor and jet washed underneath the car to get all the dirt off such as built up dirt,Then I started on the alloys by soaking them in wheel cleaner and leaving to dry for 10 minutes then jet washing off gently,Then I dried it all down one panel at a time using a microfibric cloth,Then its time for the Clay-barrrr! This part takes the piss but its well worth doing!Once it was all dry I got the T-Cut out to remove the marks such as tar and insects and sealed with wax (Even removed the rear numberplate and cleaned the paintwork behind that and polished)After doing the body I dried the wheels down and applied wax & polish to them, also treating the tyre wall with AutoGlym tyre treatment (Good stuff!)Tyres done I moved onto the door shuts removing all the built up grease and dirt from the hinges! Theres still some left over but you should have seen it before! Also Polished them all upFinished results after a good 3 hours of cleaning, well impressed Only thing letting me down is lack of mopping skills otherwise I would buy one and do that aswell...I would have taken pictures of the reflections from the paintwork but my camera is a brick!

GoldenGaze Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi, I really like your Lupo. Very eye catching! I see you have a GTI boot spoiler - how did you attach it? I've searched the forum but couldn't find any info. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also are these powered by the HU or seperate amp?Good cleaning too Edited July 27, 2010 by little rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one for my 1.4s. I wasn't sure if you had the use of the brake light or not. I am an extreme novice at this sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emz Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 The spoiler on this car isn't a GTi one, it's a Lupo sport accessories one.
