    New Fiat 500 Sport

    As I stated in an earlier post I traded in the Jaguar and bought a smaller simpler car. A 2012 Fiat Sport, black (nero) with two tone (black/red) leather seats.

    Did first detail today. I am so out of shape! Have not detailed in a long time so I really felt it today! Even with it being new and small. Tired!

    No before pictures. The can is new and clean. I wanted to wash and protect.

    Wash:
    Wolfgang Auto bathe soap
    Tires: PB APC diluted

    Protection:
    PB Polish w Sealant applied with UDM and Green pad. And hand in some areas

    Tires:
    PB Bold n Brite

    Interior:
    Shop vac
    Sonax Dashboard spray
    PB Spay n Wipe
    PB Natural Look

    Engine:
    PB Spay n Wipe
    PB Natural Look

    Finally, windows cleaned with Meg's glass cleaner and the body had a light touch of PB QD+















    The photos don't do the paint color justice. It is Black with flecks of color and shine.

    Need to figure out best product to make that pop. Never owned a black car before.

    I've seen this car up close, and you're right--the paint looks amazing, especially when the sun hits it. Great work on the first detail. You may have made one of the most dramatic vehicle swaps I've ever heard of. Must be fun to detail a car this size.

    I know, crazy isn't it?! However, when I bought the Jaguar used I wanted a small sporty car but with two children, one in diapers I felt I had to be responsible. Now the oldest is in college so I don't need a 4 door.

    But still, a HUGE change in driving. Some better, some not.
