I've asked the dealer to not polish/wax the car when they deliver it.

Has anyone any advice on what I should do when I first get it?

Should I wash it with a Fairly Liquid solution, then use a paint cleaner followed by polish/sealant then wax? I have P21S cleanser, Klasse AIO and Collinite wax.

Is there any product that you really recommend for setting up a good finish with decent lasting protection?

Thanks :smilewinkgrin:

Get a grit guard and wool mit:thumbs up:………keep your mini as swirl free as you can…please don’t put washing up liquid on, I would imagine P21S cleanser would remove any wax on it…I have Meg's hyperwash that does the trick but also I foam the Mini twice and rinse befre i even get close to it.

Just dont get any polish on the black trim example being around the roof etc bugger to get off…….still have to attack my cooper.:blush:
