I just wondered if anyone has any experience of polishing smart cars and if there's a special type of compound or polish II should use..

I tried mopping my smart 450 yesterday with a standard medium compound and although the tridion came up lovely and new the panels still look dull from years of sitting out in the sun and I can still make out a sticker outline on the panels from when it was used as a form of advertising..

I don't really want to change the panels as apart from the paint fade there's no damage to any of them or is it a case of repainting the panels as I guess the plastic must be coated in some kind of clear coat...

I've also tried using some autoglym on my mop and even a bit of autosol but nothing seems to work and was thinking of maybe trying a bit of 2000 wet and dry but that would be a last resort really.
