Polo design is sweet%u2018Small on the outside. Big on the inside%u2019, was the slogan used by Volkswagen 50 years ago to advertise its latest product at the time, the Polo. When the small car came on the market in early May 1975, nobody expected it would become a bestseller %u2013 nationally and internationally, over five decades, in six generations, and with more than 20 million units sold. When the fi rst new Polos were on sale at dealerships, they were part of a new Volkswagen model family that took over the streets in the early 1970s. In the spring of 1975, the angular small car followed the Passat (1973) and Golf (1974) of the then still young water-cooled model generation, which succeeded the legendary VW Beetle. Throughout six model generations, it is clear that the overall concept %u2013a fair price-performance ratio, high utility value, pioneering technology and its attractive design %u2013 is still popular today and has made the model a bestseller. CAR AT HOMESTEP 5 %u2013 WAXING:There is no need to wax or polish your car every time you wash it, as good-quality waxes last for weeks. Once every six months should be suffi cient. Apply the wax according to the product%u2019s instructions, leave for a few minutes, then remove with another cloth.STEP 6 %u2013VACUUMING:First things fi rst %u2013 get the suction cleaner in there and give everything a good Hoover out. That%u2019s the carpets, fl oor mats, seats, oddments and drinks holders and in between the seat base and seat back. Don%u2019t forget the boot area, which takes a lot of punishment from dirt, and the parcel shelf if your car has one. Slide seats fully forward and fully backwards as you go to ensure you are covering all areas.STEP 7 %u2013 STAIN REMOVING:Stubborn stains on the seat fabric or tiny footprints on the backs of front seats might need extra attention. Use a damp cloth or specialist solution to tackle these. Leather seats and trim will also require a cleaning product made especially for this material.STEP 8 %u2013 GENERAL WIPING:Plastic trim areas can be wiped down with a cloth, and even air vents shouldn%u2019t be ignored %u2013 use a soft brush, such as a toothbrush, to get in there. The inside of doors can get muddy and will need a wipe, while instrument panels can be transformed with a damp cloth. Make sure the steering wheel is wiped %u2013 these have been proven to harbour all sorts of germs. Wipe all glass from the inside to remove marks and smears and improve vision.REMEMBER:Work in the shade, not sunlight, if possible, as this helps prevent cleaning products and water, drying too quickly.Use separate cloths for different jobs %u2013 shampooing, rinsing, wheels, interior.Spend time on the details such as door handles, headlight lenses and interior elements like the gear knob and switchgear.Stand back and admire your handiwork. Checking on your car from diff erent angles will reveal if you have missed anything.After that, clear away and enjoy another few hundred miles of clean, hygienic motoring!WHAT YOU%u2019LL NEED:%u2022 Hose%u2022 Bucket%u2022 Sponge%u2022 Brush%u2022 Microfi bre cloth%u2022 Car shampoo%u2022 Car wax%u2022 Glass cleaner%u2022 Fabric cleaner / leather polish%u2022 Vacuum cleaner
