After giving Piglet a wash on Wednesday.
I needed to give the interior a going over, she only needed a quick vacuum and a wipe down but this morning I thought I’d spend a few hours giving her a thorough going over. So after giving the car a good vacuum.
After an initial vacuum with a brush end it’s best to use a detailing brush to loosen the dirt and debris in the nooks and crannies before vacuuming again.
It was then time to bio clean, with Gtechniq I2 Tri-clean, the interior, twice so I wouldn’t miss anything (don’t look at me like that), then treat the leather with Gtechniq L1 to reduce abrasion, UV damage, dye transfer, etc...
Exterior wiped down and gone over with Gyeon Cure and tyres dressed with Gtechniq T1 Tyres and Trim.
I hope the pics of Piglet haven’t bored you guys and gals.

If they sold your car here (or most Škodas in general), I would trade the Passat for one in a heartbeat.

Nope, never bored with your pictures. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. That is a fantastic color blue.

I love that color on your car. And I wish I could hire you to detail the FoST. So professional.

It does get some looks which makes me smile.
Though it could be me getting looks, of, ‘is that guy still cleaning the ruddy car, it’s been four hours and he was cleaning it two days ago’.

I get looks too.
Looks of “why is that 19 year old in the Passat blasting 80s music?”

Cheers, to think I nearly played it safe and went for the Brilliant Silver Metallic.
It is available in brown which is OPPOs designated colour.
If I went for the Sportline trim I could of got the (now discontinued) red or current Dragon Green Metallic (ye’, it looks like metallic yellow).

I think the blue is the best of the bunch there. It just screams class.
I’ve never noticed the rear wiper before. Why doesn’t EVERY vehicle sold come with one I’ll never understand

Ye’, I may also get looks for blasting Louane’s album Chambre 12 or Christine And The Queens.

Piglet really is a lovely car. Makes me wish they sold them here.

The blue does have a certain classy look, sort of look at me but not obnoxiously so.
It’s a free option on the Superb.
Some say it breaks up the flow of the design but I’d rather have better rear visibility than a clean flowing look.
Usually a rear wiper is put on hatchbacks and rarely saloons and liftbacks like Piglet but Skoda pretty much have for all their cars of the last 20 years.

I think it’d really suit you. The interior space is massive and the seats so comfortable.
Even with the passenger seat all the way back to put a wheelchair in the front passenger footwell the rear seats can still be used as the rear legroom is massive.

I really like everything about your car, that interior is georgeous and the exterior is quite handsome.
