NEGLECTED Skoda Octavia VRS DEEP CLEANED after sitting for YEARS! - FULL DETAILING TRANSFORMATION!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2021
- In this video this Skoda Octavia VRS Mk1 gets a thorough deep clean, satisfying snow-foam, decontamination, extraction, Machine compound & polish and protection, its absolutely filthy! This car was in a revival series I did previously, it sat for many years before being revived, and this disaster detail was the final step. I start with a citrus pre-wash solution, and then pre-wash, spray wheels with wheel cleaner/degreaser and Fallout remover, spray engine bay down with degreaser, agitate and wash off, snow-foam whole car, clay exterior, apply tar and glue remover. Machine polish for the exterior, interior is vacuumed, fabric parts extracted, leather parts cleaned and conditioned, plastic and trims are cleaned and dressed. Layer of sealant applied, tyre gel and exterior trim dressings applied, then finally, the windows are cleaned.

Glad to see more octavia content on yt
Thank you!
Ye deffo lovely car great video can I ask what snow foam did you say you used
Great job 😀👍 I own a silver 2002 LHD VRS Hatchback with 321.000 original km and full service history. I take care of my RS and it still runs fine.
Thank you! Nice job of taking care of yours! 😃
Love the MK1 vrs much better looking than the newer one's
I really enjoyed this my friend. It's one thing watching Jim White chase every blemish out of an already clean supercar but now and again it's nice to see an everyday neglected vehicle getting the attention it deserves. Thank you😊
Thank you!
A pleasure to see someone doing a job thoroughly and properly with appropriate attention to detail.
Excellent job - well done!
Thank you!
Bloody good job you did there my friend. Lovely example of a VRS, I'd have that!
Thank you!
Just brought a vrs mk1 and having to do some work on it. Theses vids are really useful.
Looks beautiful 😍 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 miss these cars not many left ...
Thank you! Yeah they’re getting rarer!
@@SortaWorks no problemo, I swear I ain't seen Skoda Octavia mk1 model for years I can't believe it , dunno what happened to me , I saw one the other day online and thinking about buying it because as growing up I would see them flying past my school 🤣 or the police had them too back in the day
Yeah I remember the police having these and the mk2 octavia too 😂 they are good cars to own
Loove the work being done on this car. Car's very close to my heart and it'd be a shame if it went to the wreckers.. Also, have you thought about buying the original floor mats? they'd make the interior look perfectly OEM.
Some tips: get a steam cleaner, helps tremendously with cleaning the door arches and speeds up the interior cleaning process a whole lot. A cheap karcher steamer does the job well. Also, i agree that APCs don't really do well for leather long-term, but they leave the leather really clean and degreased in a sense, ready for a proper layer of protection. The best conditioner for leather seats i can recommend would be beewax (they are usually marketed for leather sofas), they almost rejuvenate the leather and keep it perfect for a lot longer than synthetic dressings. Mate uses it on his leather interior in his extremely clean e36 (/watch?v=w8jkws7hx-Q) and the original leather is just perfect.
Also i would suggest a wide angle lens for smartphones, doesn't look the best but it improves the angle in small filming areas.. Though for my old iphone, it covered the microphone that was right next to the camera and the audio sounded bad, so i bought a Boya BY-MM1 microphone which really isn't bad at all for 20 quid.
Keep up the great work, your channel is going on a steady growing route! Cheers from Czechia.
Thank you! I did look at getting some original floormats but I couldn't find any in nice condition for sale when I was looking so went for some aftermarket ones that I'm happy with, thanks for the tips! I have been looking at getting a steam cleaner recently, I'll check out the beewax and the smart phone lens too, appreciate your support!
Best vid yet bro. The Skoda’s good for another 4 years 👍

Thank you!
Amazing
Thank you!
nice work bro
Thank you!
Loved the part 1 and part 2. Great to watch. The transformation in part 3 is fantastic. Hopefully you’ve still got the car as it’s definitely a future classic. I have one also, six months older than yours. Mine was registered in March 2002. Only done 96,800 miles and it’s getting tired. Little bits keep going wrong. As of writing this I put a new alternator on yesterday. Underneath has a bit of rust in places, plus last week a door lock played up and having thought it was just microswitch in the door , however it was wiring broken. The drivers door wiring set me back 151 quid as i couldn’t find it other than genuine part. I need new shocks and top strut mounts, which hopefully I’ll get done later this year. I have Ross tech vcds and I notice sometimes a flat spot when driving and fault code reads air leak between dump valve and turbo. Not sure what this is though. Anyway all good. Great videos 👍👌
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! I still have the car, it's currently what my dad is daily driving as his van and car need repairs. I definitely think they will be a classic in future too. Wow the door wiring is pricey, at least it's available though. Hopefully you won't have much to do to it after you've fixed the bits! The passenger rear door on mine has stuck in the locked position so I've got to try and sort that soon haha. Thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
These cars are notorious for failed door locks. I remember reading somewhere that the solenoids in them go bad.
Other than that though, these are solid cars. I've owned a few of these (all of them 1.9 TDI diesel) and they are very reliable. I had one (a top of the line L&K) that was nearing 200,000 KM and still ran like a clock and that delivered around 24-25 kmpl (around 60 MPG) on the highway.
The boot is enormous - and can haul whatever you need.
Great cars - sad they don't make cars like these anymore.
Have u tried a new dv? Cause i had same code and it was down to that
great turnaround from the version from 3 episodes earlier
Thank you!
Excellent results, I almost went for a mk1 octy as a daily but couldn’t live with the white carpets and seats
Thank you! And yeah you definitely need an extractor to own one haha
not every have white. We have red :D
Wow! Like new! 👍
Thank you!
Good video pal. I want to get one of these cars once I get a bit more money.
Thank you! And these are decent cars, I'd recommend one
@@SortaWorks Now started watching the restoration videos. Like how you go into detail and show exactly what your doing!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Hopefully getting one of these Octavia’s this weekend so very excited 😆
@@BensAutos did u get it?
I have 1 of these in red I have to polish it loads to keep it that colour 😂
Yeah, i dont have RS but I have the RS colour and its almost white now, thats how much it fade away 😂
Yeah red is always a difficult one to keep shiny haha!
My warning door lamps are not working what to do?
Hi there, great vid and just subscribed. Just a few questions, what is the solution you spray on to the carpets etc before drilling? What is the dual action you use, and what is the exterior plastic dressing you use as well? And finally, what sealant do you use? Have one of these myself that's been sat with mouldy seats so not looking forward to that! Thanks for the great vid and sorry for all the questions
Thank you! I used bissels own carpet cleaning fluid, but it wasn't the best, it worked but I wouldn't go out and buy it again, I've recently purchased autosmarts brisk after some recommendations from friends but haven't gotten round to using it yet. The polisher I use is a Das6 Pro plus, it's a good machine and costs £170ish, I normally pair it with hex logic pads and I use various different polishing/cutting compounds depending on the car, I think I used chemical guys VSS on this as a single stage polish, the exterior plastic dressing was autofinesse revive, and the sealant I used here I probably wouldn't recommend, and unfortunately I don't have one to recommend if I'm honest, I've been trying out quite a few different ones but haven't really liked any of them. Good luck with yours, hope it goes well!
@@SortaWorks Cracking info thanks a huge amount. Have a few bits left to get before I can tackle it properly so knowing what bits to get (particularly that autofinesse revive and the VSS is a huge help so thanks a lot. Keep up the good work
What did you use on the end of the drill to scrub the carpets? Also what interior cleaner did you use it came out decent mate 😃
Thanks! I used a drill brush, I got mine off eBay in a pack of different stiffnesses, here's a link to the exact ones I have:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Drill-attachment-brushes-for-home-carpet-upholstery-cars-van-truck-caravan-/293561267836?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
And on this car i used a lot of different carpet cleaners haha, the main one I used was bissells own wash deep cleaning fluid, that's what I was spraying on most of it, it's decent but I'm looking to try something else as it does struggle with really dirty stuff.
Have you ever had problems with water coming in from inside the door cards, there is a plastic water barrier inside that over time gets rips, or falls apart.
I would love to see more octavia videos in the future, i also hae a 08' 1.9 tdi model in navy blue.
I haven't had the door cards off this for a long while if I'm honest, I did have problems with water ingress which turned out to be the windscreen scuttle drains being blocked, since then it has been okay inside. I'll be doing more videos on this car in future! :)
@@SortaWorks The windscreen scuttle drains being blocked is a very common problem, also behind the front plastic wheel arches(i don't know if you call them that way in english) lost of dirt gets packet there, causing the front fenders/sils to rust. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Yeah I dug a plant out of the one front arch in one of my revival videos, it was packed full of mud 😂
love the mk1 vrs better then gti
It is a good car!
@@SortaWorks best car
@@SortaWorks i love the vrs
6:14 you didn't blur number plate
Hey, what drill brush you used for the seats?
Hello, it’s just an eBay drill brush that came in a set, It doesn’t have a brand on it, a friend uses the chemical guys ones and they seem to be similar
I got a 2004 estate 1.8 petrol turbo 20 valve. I can't seem to get the whit carpets clean. So thinking of putting new carpet in.
I wouldn't blame you if I'm honest, I was thinking of just replacing the rear seat in this haha, have you been extracting it?
@@SortaWorks I wish I could send u some pictures mate. I brought the car last year and it was in a bit of a sore state. I've done my best to get to look ok but it's not how I want it. I'm looking to put new seat all in the car but I'm trying to figure out 9f I can put new edition vrs seats in it like 2010 or before.
The car when 8t is finishd will be rapped in the Mercedes Amg matt grey colour. I think the green on the vrs badges and break callipers will look good. I'm also halving a pop and bang map on it woth a hks dumpvalve and looki g to be around 350bhp when finishd.
Yeah I don't blame you for replacing it, sometimes the carpets can just be too far gone. I like the plans you have for it, the grey I think will suit it well!
@@SortaWorks do u know if I could put other seats in it. Like 2010 or before
I'm afraid I don't know sorry, I haven't looked into it, I know MK4 golf seats are supposed to fit but I haven't tried it myself
Hi! What extractor are you using and what was the price?
Hello, I'm using a Bissell Spotclean Pro, it was around £140 but I think it's been discontinued
@@SortaWorks thank you sir!
You need quite interesting equipment. Good car cosmetics, attention to detail and a healthy back. Then all you have to do is be skilled. 👌
Does it still works after 20 years???
Most of it does!
@@SortaWorks you are lucky man! My father bought it in 2001 and after 5 years, the electrical system started to break! For example the stability control got broken
Ah that's unlucky, the electrical system has been okay so far on this one
No Clay Bar? If it ain't Clayed - it ain't clean.. I learned that a long time ago on my VW T5.. And it's the quickest and cheapest stage of all detailing
Starting around 8:20 I am claying the car and talking about it
