Well, here we have a Mini Cooper S belonging to Robin on the forum. The car was in good shape, a lot better shape than some that i have had recently:).
Here are the before pics.
Firstly the car was coated in meguiars detailer car wash soap from a foam gun and blasted clean. It was then refoamed and washed with a lambswool wash mit. Once clean I set about refoaming the car and claying the paint.
The S was quite clean at the front but a lot of crap was stuck to the back for some reason:evil: but this was taken off by the clay (Sonus fine detailing clay)
The car was then rewashed and the wheels were coated in meguiars wheel brightener and blasted clean with the pressure washer. The arches and tyres were coated in Meguiars Super Degreaser. The paint was quite bland. It had been coated in supa guard or diamondbrite or something else and you could see it has worn off through time. The water was just lingering instead of beading off the paint as shown below.
The paint was then tackled with meguiars #80 speed glaze to remove some light swirling and add a bit of gloss to the paint. The x shape is the glaze placed onto the pad and dabbed onto the paintwork
Here is the paint after glazing.
The paint was then polished with Blackfire extra gloss polish and sealed with Klasse Extra gloss sealent. It was then waxed with megs mirror glaze #16.
The engine bay was cleaned with meguiars #2 for cleaning the paint, and Autoglym bumper and trim shine for the plastic work.
Windows were cleaned with Autoglym glass polish.
The exhaust was cleaned with 3M stainless steel cleaner/ polish and P21s metal polish soap, as was the skid pan under the exhaust shown below.
The interior was cleaned with a Mini cleaning agent which has air freshner built in.
