SEAT Leon, red paint, and Souveran.... mmmmmmm!

[finerdetails]

Chris booked in following a demo I did for him, here's the TDi FR on arrival:

Chris likes to drive his car, and it had covered 800 miles the week just gone.



After washing using the two bucket method I clayed the car using the foam gun for lub.

Next up was the 4 inch light cutting pad and Megs speed glaze. Working a panel section at a time I removed the swirling while Chris followed round and wiped off the haze for me.

Once de-swirled Chris applied a Megs Pro hand Polish using a finishing pad while I wiped the excess away.

Following a break for lunch, yes Chris got fed too!, I applied a layer of Wolfgang Hi Gloss sealant to the car using a LC finishing pad.

This was left to cure and bond for 30 mins. Whilst this cured Chris applied Simoniz Glass polish to the windows while I applied Megs Pro Polymer Sealant to his alloys, and megs NXT Metal Paste to the Chrome tails. I then removed the alloy selant and chrome haze.

next was the selant removal demo! This gets me everytime. Every single detail shows just how easy this ealant is to use. Even after 30 mins bonding time, the selant wipes off in one pass! Chris was gobsmacked.

Once all the sealant had been wiped clear we applied a layer of Pinnacle Souveran Paste wax. Well on a red car what else could we use!!!???



And here's what 5 and half hours achieved:

and a couple of 'show' shots....

I wonder why VW won't bring SEATs to the U.S.?

I love the Leon. Such a nice hatch design. Nice work on the red...that and black fit it the best IMO.

I wonder why VW won't bring SEATs to the U.S.?

I don't think VW wants to take away from its own sales by bringing over a child company nor do I think they would want to invest in importing/marketing a new brand, especially since VW doesn't have a large marketshare in the US. But that's just my guess.
