    Morning everyone.

    It's been a while, but life has been crazy. I detailed this Dart last weekend for the same client with the 340 Swinger. He's a bit of a Dodge Dart aficionado. Grew up with them and has found some gems recently so decided to revisit this model.

    This particular example is in very nice shape. Everything is original and it was daily driven for years before being stored. The paint had some dullness to it and the interior was pretty dirty. The owner wanted it to be *clean* and shine; no heavy correction for this 33 year old paint, but I was pretty happy with the outcome.


    Interior
    - Pretreat with BioKleen Bac-Out
    - Steam everything clean
    - Zaino Z16 on all vinyl
    - Stoner's Invisible Glass on glass, mirrors, and gauges

    Before


    After








    Exterior
    - Dawn wash
    - Zaino Z18 with Dawn Wash as lube
    - TOL Tire Cleaner cut 50/50 on tires (#0000 Steel Wool on white walls)
    - EFHI cut 6:1 in wells, on wheels

    - Clearkote RMG / Zaino ZAIO cut 50/50 via PC and LC CCS Red Finishing Pad @ 6
    - Poorboy's S+W wipedown
    - Poorboy's Natty's Blue by hand on paint, chrome, glass
    - Zaino ZCS on wheels

    - Zaino Z16 on tires (x2)
    - Zaino Z8 on vinyl top


    Before

    Enjoy.

    G35stilez- Nice job on a very, *VERY* cool car! Great that it's so original.

    Good choice, that RMG/ZAIO combo

    Yeah, that brings back memories for me too, 8-tracks and all

    Thanks everyone!

    A unique car, for sure! I ended up seeing the same car the next morning in a different colour about 60 miles from this client's house, what are the odds?

    Re: the 8-tracks. I should've taken a picture, but he had something that looked like a fishing tackle box in the back seat, turned out to be an 8-track case. No iPod hook-up in this one .

    Interesting combo, RMG + ZAIO, I'll have to try that.

    Really nice job on the car, the paint looks incredibly wet!

    Superb work Sean! I never would have thought I would have seen one of these ever again.

    Love the eight track. I think I still have some Led Zeplin eight tracks from when I was 12.
