No problem R99! One product I would add to the ones i have mentioned is a trim dress for all the black arches etc. I use Poorboys trim restorer on mine, keeps them looking like new

Oh... and one more thing (lol sorry).... i would invest in a Quick Detailing Spray (QD) if I was you. They are useful for anything. Like helping to buff off wax, helping to apply wax, helping to remove random marks without having to do a full clean, lubricant when claying, drying aid...... the list goes on! Very useful stuff

burns863, Once again many thanks for your help, I will definatley treat the MINI to a proper clean once the weather pics up, it would just be demorilising spending 5 hours or so cleaning it at the mo with all the salt on the roads, because as we all know the MINI kicks up dirt all over itself so easily!

Jamesr022 · Feb 6th, 2007, 05:09 PM

I just washed mine and its freezing outside, but glad i did as it looks much better!! now its clean i don't want to drive it and get it dirty!

but no doubt with all this snow forcast that we will be getting soon i will have to do it all again!!

R99 · Feb 6th, 2007, 05:12 PM

jamesr022, What kind of aerial is that you've got on the S? It looks cool.

Jamesr022 · Feb 6th, 2007, 05:26 PM

I have a shark fin on the roof as i have the OEM SAT NAV fitted! looks much better than the normal aerial !!

Rakey · Feb 6th, 2007, 05:55 PM

We certainyl do... no sooner have I drove my car round the corner after a good clean and the back of my MINI is covered in light dirt. Then it just builds up.

I get an awful amount of salt on my MINI too, with doing 600 motorway miles each week. The Collonite 476S is doing a good job at protecting the paint work though, it can stand the salt. I just give it a rinse off when I can untill it gets to weekend when I can give her a proper wash
