Hey everyone!
I have just bought myself a Mini Cooper S which I have been saving for, for a very long time! Its a 2004 gun metal grey, full leather with heated seats, and the upgraded Harmon Kardon system. It really is my pride and joy so thought I'd best get it cleaned up and sparkling ready for the beautiful weather we were having which then disappeared
so here it goes......
I had all the wheels refurbed as this was the main down fall on the car
Some pictures of the paint, it had a couple of light scratches
The interior
Now for the cleaning.....
First the wheels using Auto Finesse Imperial,
Then I foamed her with AF Citrus Power Super Gel,
Cleaned all the trim, around the windows, the badges and grills with a detail brush,
Door shuts
Washed with AF Lather,
Then on to the claying using AF Clay bar,
AF Oblitarate to get rid of ..well the tar
I thought I would have to leave this a good 5-10 minutes before taking it off but James ashured me to take it off once I had been round the whole car and so I did and it did a great job!
We then went round with Iron X
Then I rinsed it off
Right, then we got down to business taped all the trim off James started on the bonnet getting it pretty much perfect with AF Rejuvenate and I started on the roof with a DA as I havent used a rotary for so long, and I didnt want to risk burning through as I'm clumsy and most probably would
Me making out like I know what I'm doing
The boss getting on with business
Lights
A Bars
After all the polishing work was done I went around the car with a spot of AF Revive,
Brushed all the dust away,
Exhausts polished with AF Mercury,
James then went round and applied AF Desire 2 coats to ensure even coverage
While I went round and applied AF Mint Rims to my Mint Rims
Then I went round and did the interior, I used AF Total and Spritz on the plastics, carpets and roof lining then Hide Cleaner and Hide Conditioner on the leather,
Pedals before and after a wipe down with Total
Now it begain to rain while I was doing the interior so there arent many good pictures after here
The right side has had Hide Conditioner applied, it didnt leave it sticky at all just a nice clean, fresh, smell and feel to the leather,
Even my Nandos chicken got a wipe down
I have put the union jack mirror cover on sorry for bad picture didnt want to get the camera wet so had to be quick
Finished pictures.....
Also put my private reg on :thumb:
Thanks for looking all comments and questions welcome,
Sian
