Got something a little different for yall. Finally going to be heading north for a trip, and I can`t be seen on a dirty nasty sled. She hasn`t had a bath in a long time, so we had to do something about that. Here`s what we had to start with....a dirty 2012 Ski Doo Renegade 800etec:

And of course I had my little helper:

Here`s what I grabbed out of the cabinet to get the job done. Did a rinseless wash with some UWW+, polished all the smooth plastic and metal tunnel with CarPro Essence, treated all smooth surfaces with some DP paint coating, all textured plastic got treated with Ultima Trim and Tire Guard (forgot to put it in the pic), and the seat got treated with Four Star Vinyl Protectant.

Couple quick notes on the products. The Ultima TTG really brought the textured plastic to life. Darkened it up nice. The CarPro Essence seems like it`s going to work perfect for the smooth plastic pieces. As far as I know, there`s no correcting scratches and swirls out of that material. I worked the Essence with a Flex PE8 buffer using a black pad. It really seemed to put a nice shine on the plastic pieces without adding any more swirls and looked like it filled in the existing defects....turned out great. DP paint coating was super easy to work with. Left a nice slick finish.


Put the hired help to work. They`re cheap labor.....work for m&m`s and popcorn.

Here`s what we ended up with.

Looks very nice! I just happened to clean up something very similar earlier in the season!
