Car Detailing for Volkswagen Arteon

Detailing your Volkswagen Arteon

The Arteon is a long, low fastback with frameless doors, and its paint and glass are where owners notice imperfections first. We clean the door seals, correct the wide clamshell hood and roof and seal them for winter. The hatch exposes the cargo carpet to slush, so it gets extracted rather than vacuumed, and the grey Nappa leather is cleaned with foam and a brush so the perforations come clean without the colour going patchy.

What we watch for on a Arteon

• Frameless door glass leaves a grime line along the roof seal; we clean the channel so the windows stop streaking
• The long hatch opens the whole rear glass, so the cargo carpet sees slush in winter and benefits from an extraction
• Nappa leather in Mistral Grey shows denim transfer and dirt in the perforations; a foaming cleaner and a soft brush restore it
• The low front bumper and long overhang scrape on garage ramps; we inspect for scuffs before polishing
• The wide clamshell hood and long roof show swirls on dark colours, and VW's hard clear coat takes a full correction well

Midsize sedans: the family and commuter workhorse

A midsize sedan usually carries the school run, the commute and the weekend grocery trip, which means a rear seat full of crumbs and a trunk full of whatever rolled around in it. Wide doors and large panels reward a proper two-bucket wash.
