Smart Car with DoDo Armour

[HighEndDetail]

This belongs to a long time porsche client of mine.
It is her around town car, to cut the gas and maintance on the porsche.


It is 8 months old, and never been waxed. This is the first time dealing with this car.
I gave it a bath with dawn and the schmitt. All the yellow body panels are plastic, and the black stripe is the only metal on the outside of the vehicle.

I went with the Flex 3401 and a org cross grove pad. With OP and meg 105, one to two pea sized drops per panel.

Went with the Banana Armour from DoDo Juice. I thought since it is a yellow smart car. I would use the banana armour since it was yellow :D

It went on very easy, and this one too goes a long way when applied. One panel at a time then went back and wiped it off.
Surf City Beyond Black went on the tires.

Does the wax cost more than the car?

[Meghan]

Well since Smart Cars go for a little less then $20,000 (last time I heard) I would say that is a WHOLE lot of wax to even them out!

Looking Great, how long did it take you?:cheers:

Very nice job, but Smart cars should simply be thrown in the garbage where they belong.

Very nice Ed. Those cars look very simple and easy to do.

WOW! The yellow is so bright and shiny! Good job. I've seen a few of them on the road but never one up close. I had no idea the panels are plastic! What a dichotomy: Porche and Smart Car.

During the colder months some types of grass here go in a dormint(hybernate) stage. Then comes back in spring. And today it was 33 degrees at 9:30 this morning so cold here too.

Less then three hours, took my time. Didn't want to burn the plastic:D
The hardest part of it was the carpets, they suck in those cars. Like the hairy part of the velcro side. They don't want to give up the dirt.


Very nice Ed. Those cars look very simple and easy to do.

Hey Pat, you are right very easy to do, flat panels, and no roof to do.

Thanks everyone.

And it only has three lug nuts holding the tires on:D

Great job on that funky car!

Now thats one car you would not want to charge by the hour ...it looks like it could be waxed in 10 minutes.
