Awesome video as ever mate, there isn’t much better than sitting back and looking at a freshly cleaned car especially if a glimmer of low sun pokes through ❤️ just out of interest next time you do it try skipping the pre rinse and just go straight in with the foam, I’ve done same as you forever but watched a few vids saying the foam works better and I tried it and it definitely does 🤗 fine motor that cupra 👌
Thanks mate! You see I did that in a previous wash video (skipped pre rinse) and I got roasted for it 😂 But maybe I’ll try it again and see how I get on 😁
Hello mate liking a different style of vid and the Cupra is looking top notch again. The weather has been really bad but I finally cleaned my Fiesta ST this week as I couldn’t stand it being that dirty any longer! Always been an Autoglym fan myself mate. 👍🏻
Yep....top job mate! One thing though I'd switch out your wheel cleaner to Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel....its mega !! And also use Bilt Hamber Atom Mac....stops all your discs turning brown ! 😉 Great vid as usual 👌
How’s that work for you using the drying towel after applying aqua wax? Is it job done after that or do you have to buff again with a microfibre? Looks like a fast technique.
Yeah I normally completely dry the car then apply wax with microfibre cloth and buff with a clean cloth. But this looks a lot easier especially for winter washing.
I shouldn't be putting off cleaning my GTI any longer. I had to leave the car dirty for the MOT last year because it was dreadfully cold and it kept snowing on and off, but I don't have an excuse this year 😂 Got my MOT and service next week and I know I'll be commuting less for 2 weeks because of my workplace changing locations, so I was going to leave it until then so I can get the satisfaction of having a clean car for that bit longer haha! Brilliant job with the clean by the way mate 😁My thorough clean motivation goes out the window too because I could spend 3 hours easily on a heavily soiled car, but it'll be back to square one in about 2 days of commuting 😂Do you use any sealants out of interest or do you do a normal clean?
Thanks mate - yea it’s horrible when it’s filthy again a few days later 😩 Roll on the summer! I just use the spray wax I used in this video and I’ll give it a coat of extra gloss protection maybe once a year…
@@CarFocused Yeah couldn't agree more mate! Will make cleaning a lot easier that's for sure 😂 Thanks for the response! That's the similar approach I do with mine although I tend to use Sonax BSD as a spray on and wipe off sealant. Might use that as a drying aid on the next wash as the beads aren't coming through as much now haha!
Thanks mate! Well my Cupra can’t put its power down in current conditions unless I feather the throttle, so the Conti’s don’t feel great to be honest. Fine in the dry though.
i really need to get out and clean the focus, its been sat for nearly 2 months with no mot now. booked in for monday fingers crossed she will fly through again. cupras lookin good
Gaz try yumcar products m8 different league there yumcar wash shampoo is mint and it foams up like mad pal,and don't forget inside that petrol flap lol
I’ve always been an autoglym guy haha - tbh that particular shampoo doesn’t lather up that much but they do another one which does which I would normally buy but didn’t on this occasion. Haha yea the flap gets a wipe at the end usually 😂
not a believer in this quick wax and quick ceramic coat shit, its better than nothing ofc but just take 3 hours on a sunday and get a proper wax that way its easier to keep clean also
HELL NO! That’s a totally different mitt mate. I have designated wheel / bodywork mitts (albeit they are the same style) And wheels are done first. At 2:13 you’ll see them both 😁

Nothing more satisfying that washing the crud off a car knowing there's a jewel underneath 😉
Indeed - it’s like having a new car haha
Having just cleaned my Fiesta ST-3 and Focus Estate last weekend, I found this incredibly satisfying to watch 😊
Haha that’s the only good thing about cleaning cars in the winter - the satisfaction when it’s clean…for 5 mins anyway 😂
@@CarFocused 😂 yes indeed! Mine need doing again already 🙄 😄
Loved it, mate. Nothing like a good wash and the satisfaction of a newly washed car. 😊
Couldn't agree more!

Nice change of pace this video mate. Very relaxing watch!
Glad you think so!
So satisfying 😍 just cleaned my cupra last weekend and she’s never moved off the drive yet so still gleaming
Great to hear!
Mate the Cupra is growing on me, every time I see it. Love proper thick snow foam. I think though it does need lowering a smidge. Epic video Gary 👍👍
Thanks mate I love it to be honest! I would lower it but it will just make it harder to live with as a daily 😢

Always been an Autoglym fan myself mate. 👍🏻
Thanks mate, thought I’d do something a little different to the norm 😊 It almost seems pointless cleaning them but it gets the salt off at least 👍🏻
Do love a good car cleaning video top job mate 👍
Thanks mate. Thought it was worth recording and slapping some tunes over the top 😁
Great video this. Never done the snow before think ill give it a go. Car looks great 👍
Thank you 😊
Yep....top job mate! One thing though I'd switch out your wheel cleaner to Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel....its mega !! And also use Bilt Hamber Atom Mac....stops all your discs turning brown ! 😉
Great vid as usual 👌
Cheers mate - been meaning to buy that Atom Mac for ages but it keeps slipping my mind 😂 I’ll get on it! Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
love it!!
Bought my cupra 290 2019 same time you got yours so enjoy the cupra vids need to purchase some ez car care stuff to clean mine i think
Hope you’re enjoying it - still loving mine 😊
Love the kids rs in the garage
Haha yea the wee RS 😅
How’s that work for you using the drying towel after applying aqua wax? Is it job done after that or do you have to buff again with a microfibre? Looks like a fast technique.
Hi mate - after drying it’s job done. You can alternatively dry the car then apply the spray wax and buff off with a microfibre.
Yeah I normally completely dry the car then apply wax with microfibre cloth and buff with a clean cloth. But this looks a lot easier especially for winter washing.
Question: did you use the autoglym shampoo conditioner in the snow foam canon? If so how much and how much water
I use their polar blast snow foam - 200ml foam then top up to 1000ml with water

Good Cupra cleaning video Gary, much better than mine!
Notice your on the Continental tyres, what do you think of them compared to Michelin PS4?
Thanks mate! Well my Cupra can’t put its power down in current conditions unless I feather the throttle, so the Conti’s don’t feel great to be honest. Fine in the dry though.
@@CarFocused My front contis are almost worn out, so as you say, the front wheels light up pretty easily. Going to get a pair of PS4s to try soon.
i really need to get out and clean the focus, its been sat for nearly 2 months with no mot now. booked in for monday fingers crossed she will fly through again. cupras lookin good
Fingers crossed for you mate! Give it some love 🧽🧽😁
@@CarFocused thanks mate,she flew through :)
@@mrwick7961 great stuff 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻
Gonna have a little watch to see if I can gain any tips 🤣🤣🤣 My Cupra 290 is just as filthy.....only did it 2 weeks ago ! 🙄
you jet wash straight on to your brake caliper?
Yea - nothing wrong with that 😁 Been doing it for nearly 20 years and never had a problem haha.
It's usually mid January to mid February where there is alot of road grime
It’s another level at the moment. So much road salt about and with the cold evenings the roads always get wet overnight. Pain in the ass!
What snow foam you using there mate?
Autoglym 👍🏻
Cheers mate
Definitely a satisfying thing watching a car being washed. We must all be weirdos lol
I think most people think us car guys are weirdos to be fair haha
@@CarFocused no idea what your neighbours must think with half the stuff you do

Pleasure you can’t measure 😂😂 My neighbours just don’t get it. Why spend your hard earned cash and not look after the goods 🤔
Indeed mate! In most cases cars are the second biggest asset you’ll own other than your home, so why not look after them 😊
Could of washed 20 cars in that time😂ffs
I’m in no hurry 😁
That'll do me mate 💦
Just a quick one 👌🏻
@@CarFocused found that enjoable to watch, no voice over just watch
@@jonyb4 thought I’d try something a little different 👍🏻 Thank you 😊
not a believer in this quick wax and quick ceramic coat shit, its better than nothing ofc but just take 3 hours on a sunday and get a proper wax that way its easier to keep clean also
It’s ok if you’re pushed for time and you’re after a top up. Gives far better beading than just a shampoo and it only takes a few minutes 👍🏻
@@CarFocused love the rs btw, i put mine in the garage just this weekend, first winter for me
Using the same mitt on the wheels then the bodywork?!?
Jesus christ
Do your wheels at the very start bro and with separate cleaning equipment x
HELL NO! That’s a totally different mitt mate. I have designated wheel / bodywork mitts (albeit they are the same style) And wheels are done first. At 2:13 you’ll see them both 😁
@@CarFocused arrrrrrhh,I'll sleep tonight now 😄😄
