Hiya guys,

I used to have a Streetka before my CooperS hardtop so not sure if its the same but I used the Renovo products mentioned above. Dont use the black restorer stuff unless your really handy with it as mine ended up all streaky with a line down the middle of the roof where you could see where i had reached over from each side!!!! Complete nightmare! It looked a right mess! Had to get a very heavy duty metal brush (I know it was a bad idea but i was desperate!!!) and that managed to re fluff the roof up enough to get rid of the noticable stripes and remove the residue where it had stuck in between the pile of the roof fabric!

You kind of paint the stuff on with a paint brush, so it may just have been my useless skills that meant it messed up! )

I also used the auto glym I think it was called?? from halfords in the 2 spray bottles with the sponge, this was brilliant and the sponge was really corse so ace for getting rid of bird poo! )

I'm guessing the mini had a glass rear screen but on my streetka it was plastic and I used Renovo's plastic rear screen cleaner and this I would really recommend as it cleared the screen and kept it clear for ages!

Hope this helps )
