    Smart Car Clean Up

    Tonight I started on a SmartCar. This is a car my dad took in off of trade and will be selling. He doesn’t want any paint correction done but wants everything looking nice. I have the exterior done and will do the interior tomorrow.
    I just got a new DSLR camera so I wanted to play around with it hence the writeup on a car that didnt have paint correction.
    Process:
    -Remove wheels/ clean with Opt Power Clean (too narrow to get a brush in there so I figured I could just remove them almost as fast as trying to get a brush in there)
    -ONR wash (I used a small pressure sprayer and sprayed the car down prior)
    -Clay w/ONR lube
    -Sealant w/ Menz Power Lock
    -Dress trim w/ UTTG
    -This stuff is great!! I traded a sample with Mark and have to say I am absolutely sold on this stuff. See pics below
    Now onto the Pics
    Before:

    Post ONR wash:


    Clay:

    Power Lock setting up


    Now onto the trim w/ UTTG sorry only afters except for a few 50/50s






    Now the final product (Exterior)





    Thanks for looking. All question, comments, and criticisms are welcome.

    Thank you, for the tires I used wolfgang back diamond and for the windows I havent done them yet. That is just from the onr wash. I will do them after I finish the interior but I use Megs glass cleaner concentrate.

    I've secretly wanted to drive and detail one of these Smart golf carts. I would like to have a picture of me trying to get in and out of a smart car.

    Your work looks great. Have you tried using 303 Aerospace protectant on the plastic?

    Just out of curiosity, what size are those rims?

    The results look amazing with just the hands and no rotary. I like the way you clayed the vinyl, learned something new in that shot. Amazing!

    Jon,

    It great to see you took your time and covered very inch of the cars. I like the way you removed the wheels and tires and did a proper job there as well.

    Superb work and I'm sure your father was pleased!
