Spent some time this past weekend detailing the exterior of Mr Magoo, thought I'd show off the results of the first clay bar and PC of da MINI.... sure is shiny!

That's Heidi in the first pic

Have to do something about those paint chips though..

Nice work and shiny Mr. Magoo

Great job on Magoo!

Caah, maybe I'll hold another mini detailing day some time as I've had a few requests recently. I list all my detailing products here. Feel free to shoot me any questions.

Josh do you use Zaino ZFX (cure accelerator) in Z2 or Z5? I was a first time Zaino user over the weekend and it took forever to cure even with ZFX - or it was more difficult to take off than it should have been. Maybe I applied too much. The final result is pretty good though.

I have it, but don't really recommend it. In warm weather it should take about half hour to cure at the most, maybe half that with zfx..which to me isn't worth the extra cost and trouble.

Applying too much will definitely make it seem like it takes to long to cure. Any polymer wax is applied very thinly.

Thanx, I've been using Poor Boy products. They seem to be pretty effective. I'm anxious to try other products to compare. Used a PC (Porter Cable) for the polishing with Edge foam pads. They are the bomb!!!

That would be awesome if you host another detailing day! I would definitely attend.
