Hi all,

Pick up my new f56 Cooper in the next few weeks. I am planning on asking the dealer to not wash and wax it so that I can do it myself.

Do any of you have any tips on how to get the best look when new. I am looking for a regime that does not require too much effort to maintain and protect the paint.

I currently use Collinite wax and am happy with the results.

I was planning on giving the car a good wash and then a light clay using my soft bilthamber clay. Then simply waxing the car.

Does anyone have any better suggestions, perhaps a cleanse, polish or sealant (by hand) before waxing?


Thanks, KenL
