    Hey Guys

    The girlfriend got a new car. It was a demo vehicle. Had 4000 mi on the clock, so I cleaned it up for her today. She was really happy with it. The car is really small. It only took about 4 hours to do. The convertible top is cloth. I really didnt know what I needed use as a protectant, if you could even use one. I used the Ulti-mitt today for the first time. I like how it fit on my hand. Didnt notice any dirt or anything like that in the channels of the Ulti-mitt. Comments welcome.

    Looks great. The red really pops. I really like the Solstice and the Sky. Cool little cars.



    How come the back of the convertible top is so wrinkled?



    You might want to check out 303 products for items to clean and protect the top.

    Very nice car, been looking at them for awhile, very glossy and wet! on the top you can use the 303 kit for that type of top.:2thumbs:

    Wow, great gloss and wetness. You made a VERY noticeable improvement on a car that already looked great!!

    I like the look of that TW on the tires as well. Do you know if that is a solvent or water base?

    Where those wrinkles are, is where the back of the convertible top locks down on to the back deck. It unhooks from that and the deck lid raises up and the top folds under the deck lid. As to why its wrinkled I have no idea.



    Yeah, I`ve been looking at getting some 303. I`ve read alot of good things about them.



    Thanks for the compliments guys.



    Brandon. The tractors look great!

    ZoomZoom, Thanks for the comps and the heads up on the 303!

    VTechFan- The can says it contains petroleum distilints and is flammable( dont know if that answers your question).

    Dylan- thats an awesome car. I dont see her doing that, but man, i`d be driving this #$@% out of it if she did.



    Thanks for the compliments.

    Beautiful detail on a nice looking car. I`ve considered a Sky or Solstice, but am held back by this:



    This is the fuel tank rising up out of the trunk. With the top down half of the trunk space disappears. :nixweiss

    Yeah, hopefully they fix that, as most people reviewing the car said that feature really brought it down. Love the lines on them though, Kappa cars are beauties.
