A Day off (another MINI to clean)

[GP BILLY]

Did my sons 54 MINI COOPER today, only had 3 hours so we decided it would get cleaned and a coat of AUTOBALM polish (It will be getting a full machine polish at a later date) As you see it was quite dirty, he has been putting it through a arc car wash











Wheels were quite bad. I used Meguiars Wheel Brightner (he has new wheels going on the car)




The car was pressure washed and then snow foamed with Super Snow Foam.






After it was rinsed you could see a lot of wee tar marks, out came the TARDIS and the car got a spray of that...






Getting to be a habid this...

The car was then wash 2 B/M with Dodo Juice - Born to be mild shampoo.
Dryed the car and then applied the AUTOBALM,

Exellent stuff this, hides swirls and small scratches (think Ian will agree)
Here's a link to bilthamber they also do clay bars which don't need a lude use JUST PLAIN WATER.
while I did this my son did the trim and tyres
Here are a few after photos but as it was after 4 and getting dark, I felt that the pics didn't do the finnish justice.
I will take some more as I also forgot to take after pics of the interior




















Here is our 3 MINIs together 1 covered in snow foam


Here a couple with new wheels (chears Greg) just sitting against the car, going to fit next week I hope...

ARC car wash it is then..............

Fairy Liquid
Jif
Brillo pad for the 'stubborn' bits

That'll sort yer 'swirl marks'

Nice job.
To finish off though why not get something like autosmart highstyle dressing or meguiars all season dressing and put it in a spray bottle and fire some up under the arches onto the plastic arch liners. It makes them look much better.
