How to Renew the Roof of a Smart with Veneto Auto Extreme
Model: Smart Smart
451
- Years 2007-2015
See how to renew the polycarbonate roof of a Smart using the specific Kit from Veneto Auto Extreme, available on the website venetoautoextreme.it. The Smart Kit is designed to regenerate the polycarbonate surfaces of this vehicle, including the roof, windows, etc. It costs £59.00, and now the YouTuber shows how to use it for the best results: remove the hazy layer to create a micro-smooth surface for applying the regenerating liquid. Start sanding with 400 grit, removing the hazy layer with an abrasive disc on a foam pad: you can work either dry or wet, using circular motions, continuing until the surface is smooth. Continue sanding with progressively finer grits (800/1200/2000), alternating circular motion with horizontal and vertical strokes. With 2000 grit, it is advisable to use water for a cleaner finish. Use a compressor to remove all traces of dust, dry thoroughly, and then use the special cloth provided in the kit to give an anti-static effect. Pour all the liquid into the kit's tray, soak the applicator, start from one side and proceed towards the centre with long, continuous strokes. Never go back over an area already covered while the product is still wet. Do not cross the strokes, but cover with parallel strips; the streaks will disappear on their own as they dry. Leave the vehicle covered for at least 4-5 hours, and avoid getting the roof wet for at least 24 hours. The roof will return transparent and shiny as new. Pay close attention to the sanding: a rushed job will show in the final result, as will meticulous cleaning and care in the 'single pass' of the product.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?
If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system. by ScegliAuto More videos
