Hey guys, recently had my car detailed by Adi @ Deep Shine Detail in Lincoln and thought I'd share his write up of the detail here. There's a cheeky Ed30 in the pic's too so didn't think anyone would mind! :happy2: He's a really top lad and I thoroughly recommend him to anyone around the area. :drinking:

Seat Cupra K1 receiving a Light Correction Package at Deep-Shine Detail.
I came into contact with this car towards the end of last year where it received a Winter Protection Package. The Car is always clean and very well presented and the owner does a good job in maintaining it, however on closer inspection and in sunlight the car was suffering from bad swirling and a selection of scattered RDS's which were starting to drive the owner crazy.
The Car was recently also on my stand at an LVS Racing/REVO track day at Blyton Park.
