Plot
[]

Poppy is driving the Dune Huggy and Lownote Jones narrates it. She pulls over next to him and points this out. The Dune Huggy is looking very clean and Poppy explains she just got it washed by The Clean Team. Lownote asks who the Clean Team are.

It turns out to be Holly Darlin', Branch and Smidge who normally clean Caterbuses. After seeing their work, Lownote notes that he has been thinking their spaceship Vibe Town could do with a clean. The issue is that the Funk Tribe has never trusted anyone else with their technology before. The Clean Team quote their motto, which convinces Lownote to give up the Funk spaceship. Despite being convinced, Smidge finds Lownote is unwilling to give up the ship as he holds onto the keys. He talks to the key chain discoball and tells himself to let go.

They clean the ship despite some of the strange things about it, and all looks well when they are done, but Smidge has a sense that they are not finished; she spots a small mark. Smidge goes to get rid of it with her thumb, only to chip the paint. Holly tries to buff it out with her hair, only making things worse. Branch suggests they move the ship to his bunker as he has fixed things in his garage but Smidge shots the idea down in case the ship gets seen by the Funk Trolls.

Smidge takes a photo of the mark with the idea to repaint it. They go to Harper, but she doesn't have any paint that matches it, though she has a color close to it. It needs to be of a more reddish tone. They begin to add things to it to try and match the color of the ship.

At the ship, the color now matches, but the paint doesn't look right itself. Smidge paints it on. Lownote is satisfied with the work. He asks how he can repay them but they are already satisfied with making him happy. As Smidge speaks, the paint melts a hole in the side of the ship, to the horror of the trio. Lownote wants to gather all the Funk Trolls to take a look at their work and walks off.

They have no choice but to take the ship to Branch's bunker to fix it without it being spotted. They sneak the ship to get the bunker, avoiding all the Funk Trolls except Cooper. Cooper asks if they are trying to sneak the ship into Branch's bunker to repair it; Smidge has her hand hovering over the self destruct button in case. They tell Cooper that's not what they are doing and he's convinced. They're close to Branch's Bunker, but just as they run towards it, Lownote appears bragging to other Funk Trolls about their work.

In a panic, Smidge reverses the ship, but accidently rams it into a tree, in a panic she hits all sorts of buttons and it bounces around. As she does so, Smidge catches Lownote's attention and then crashes the ship, making it messy again and the hole bigger.

Lownote is confused and asks for a explanation. Nervously, they confront and confess what has happened. Lownote says it is easy given the state of the ship for him to be disappointed in them, but he'd have to be equally disappointed in himself. It turns out the damage is nothing; he actually has done worse himself. He flies it out of the lagoon using a remote and hits a button; the hole instantly repairs itself.

Smidge was worried that there would be consequences; there are - the Clean Team must clean the ship for free. They go to point out they do that anyway, but Lownote interrupts. He states the Funk Trolls have access to limitless technological power and they should accept this as their penalty, as he could make the consequences worst. Knowing this, they happily clean the ship again.

The episode ends with Poppy narrating them.
