I do similar. Only extra advice I would give is to put a spacer between the front brake calipers. You can easily get air in the system if you knock the brake lever on the way in/out, or pull it by mistake.

I use an old fitted sheet to put it around the bike to protect the bike and the car. With two fitted sheets you can also fit two bikes in the car.

I use a a cheap waterproof large car cover on the inside of my car. I’ve attached bungees to the cover so it hooks up high in the corners of my car to prevent dirt getting everywhere. I wheel my eBike in backwards with the front wheel off and then fold the excess of the cover back over the bike to hide it from sight. Cheap, clean and safe

I take a garden weed sprayer with me that's full of water and cleaning agent to remove as much crud before placing back in the car (Can also be used as a pump when seating a new tyre) and also add a block to the front calliper, then parcel shelf back in and old blanket over the remaining parts of the bike that was on show, once the bars have been turned. Also a Focus driver

The parcel shelf and an old blanket are a good shout. There is usually something like that kicking around in my car somewhere. I think the focus has a lot of room compared to some other similar sized cars. Mine is about 12 years old now.

I'm lucky to have 308SW so my boot is massive. What helps me though is that I have a boot tray, I put the bike on the tray and then pull the tray from the front which slides the bike in with ease. I always recommend it to people who struggle getting bikes in & out of their boots.

I just had replace my mk3 mondeo estate. I put the bike in standing up with the front wheel removed. behind the drivers seat leaving loads of room for other stuff. I'm tall too so my bikes are big and my seats are back. After a lot of shenanigans because modern cars seem to favor styling over practicality i ended up getting a vw touran minivan. I mount the bike to a sheet of ply using the fork qr. It's pretty good if you can get past the dsg gearbox 😮. I too use a garden sprayer to clean the bike 😂

I find a piece of 6mm hardboard about 36" square with a thin strip of wood attached to one edge and then simply 'hooked' over the back of the back seat stops the bike putting holes in the upholstery on the rear of the seat. It also makes sliding the bike in and out a bit easier to, and anything long like bits of timber... I haven't got a cure for those dog hairs over everything....

Yep. 👍 Luckily I have an Astra Estate, and, until I bought my first fat bike, I could load 2 MTBs with both wheels on! Also purchased a waterproof black 3x5 mtr tarpaulin. It covers the full rear floor and back again, so it hides bikes, tools, RC crawlers, Xmas prezzies, etc.

In my VW Golf 7 it's not necessary to release the front wheel: Turn your handlebar (including the frontwheel) to the left, nearly as far as possible. So that your front wheel points backward. Let's say turn it like 4 clock. Front first. hold your bike horizontal. (grab Saddle tube and horizontal tube and handlebar). The saddle points to the left side of your car. Now your front wheel fits in diagonal in the hole of the trunk. Place the frontwheel behind the front seats. Your hole bike is in the car. The frontwheel sits in the food room behind the front seats.

I have an SUV that allows me to put the bike upright behind the drivers seat bars first. I lean it against the next seat and D lock to the Isofix with a black fitted sheet over it. I also have an old Hope DH wheel bag to keep the muck at bay. I can take 2 bikes like this but not quite 3 and their riders. Any more than 2 and I use an Atera Strada DL with 4 bike option on my towbar. Pretty secure with wraparound straps that lock plus Dlocks but all on show. Tilts and slides for boot access. Great vids thx

2020 Corolla Back seat down Large moving blanket from harbor frieght on the deck. 1 bike, front wheel off handle bars first. Smaller moving blankets between the bike and wheel. 2nd bike, Both wheels off Large moving blanket between bikes Second frame goes in through side door, sometimes with seat post out. Loose wheels separated with the smaller blankets. 3 bike challenge 🤦🏻 All wheels off Seat posts out (if quick release) Blankets between everything. Playing Tetris to make everything fit. I like using dummy hubs for the chains. Cover everything (1-3 bikes) with a navy blue twin sheet. I’ve found that color left lumpy works well for “camouflage” to hide vehicle contents. Even in daylight, just passing by contents don’t grab attention. When used with blankets, the unoccupied vehicle has the appearance that someone may be sleeping in the car. The car does have some scuffs from figuring out how to make large goofy puzzle pieces fit in a clown car. I usually only carry one. Having quick release front wheels makes this a quick process with only one.

I'd say it depends on if the car has a lip at the base of the boot opening. If it doesn't, like mine, you can load it rear wheel first by just having the wheel on the bumper / boot floor and rolling it in at an angle. But if it has a lip you need to lift the bike over, I'd probably try it forks-first too.
