Exterior Polish Questions

Sould have probably posted in this thread. Maybe it will get more action:

Just how much of the vehicle was covered in plastic during delivery? Whole body or partial? Do I have to worry about airborne contaminants and rail dust? I want to claybar and Zaino. But if it was fully covered should I skip the claybar process? Thanks in advance...

MINI's are partially coverd during transport. You can see pics of them coming off the boat in my gallery. SInce your MINI likely traveled by rail to get to Mississippi, you may want to clay bar. I didn't myself, since I don't think my MINI ever saw a train.

That's the answer i was looking for! Thanks, BillK. Looks like claybar once this rain stops.
