Jennifer and I use our twin 124s, Itsy Bitsy and Saxy, to show you how to care for your convertible's fabric top.

Thanks for doing your videos. I just bought a 2018 124 Classica, and am loving it. It's been fun seeing the love you have for your cars, and I greatly appreciate you sharing all you've learned on how to care for, and to improve the little Spider!

Look for the 2017+ 124 Spider fan club on facebook and the 124 spider.org forum online. Both are great resources. And check for Fiat Club America chapters near you - being in a club takes enjoyment of your car to another level!

Thanks for info, next time you could just close the door with a towel over the glass vs tape.

Wasn't there a video on cleaning the exterior back window of the drop top? Can't find it. If not, any recommendations on a cleaner? Thanks.

It is a glass window, so any glass window cleaner should be fine.

Great content! What brand hose attachment is that you're using to rinse? Thank you

The nozzle is made by Orbit. I think I got it at either Home Depot or Lowes.

How the heck do you get your car to look so glossy? I just got a white Abarth 124 and it's covered in swirl marks from the previous owner. Any idea how I can remove them and make it shine as much as your cars?

You either need to do a paint correction or a repaint. Remember our paint is very thin to begin with, so you can't do paint corrections over and over. But, here is the process on the shine... Believe it or not, we only "wax" our car every 1-2 years. 1. Get a good soap. I recommend the Last Soap from the Last Coat if it is available (they are building a new warehouse and their product line can be limited til it gets done). Wash the car completely with the soap. 2. Clay bar the car to get rid of chemical/contaminants the soap didn't remove. 3. Wipe down the car with isopropyl alcohol 70%. Same stuff you find in a drug store. This will remove the last of the chemicals that might be trying to stick around. This step ensures your surface is as clean as possible before you put on the coating. 4. Apply a ceramic or ceramic/graphene mix. There are many on the market and I have not yet decided on a favorite. Black Ice by The Last Coat is very good. But so are many others. 5. We usually wait a few days to let the first layer set up well then apply a second coat. 6. After 3-4 more days, we put on AMP by the Last Coat to seal the shine. This step is not needed, but helps the ceramic last longer. After that, we only use water or a waterless wash (GO2 Waterless wash is the best we've found) to clean the car. All that said, I doubt you will ever get a white car to look as shiny as a black one. Not that it won't BE as shiny, but the color contrast will make the black car LOOK more shiny. Black cars show dirt easily, but when they are clean and shined up, you can't beat their mirror-like look.

Can I run my 124 through a car wash with brushes, or hand wash better
