MINI got a good clean today

["Reedy"]

Well like many other people i too got out the cleaning products and gave my MINI a treat today.

First up my dirty Mini



Next Meguiars shampoo & conditioner applied


A quick rinse and then clay bar was used


Next Deep crystal paint cleaner was used

["Reedy"]

Then Deep crystal polish applied



and finally Deep crystal carnauba wax was applied




Now my arm is about to fall off, after all that applying and polishing....

Nice job, looks really nice

Car looks awesome. I think its the dares that make it.

The hard work has certainly paid off, how long did it take in total?

Totally agree

Great job mate, well worth all that effort

[Sooper Rob]

Very nice car and it is looking great

Just one thing, I would drop Megs Step 3 - Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax it's not very good plus durability is poor. Personally I am a fan of Dodo Juice wax but there are loads of different waxes on the market that will give you a better and longer lasting finish.

yeah i did think about dodo juice after seeing your waxing the other day.....which looks great too

I think your right, after i had finished it did not look as good as i thought it should....so will give dodo juice a try. Where can i get some from..?

A great looking car and I just love the grill mod you've done. I'm not a fan of the aero grill myself and that makes your car look very smart indeed.

You can buy Dodo Juice from a few places. One that I can recommend - Dodo Juice Wax
The link above tells you what you need to know about all the Dodo Juice waxes. The soft waxes are easier to apply but won't last as long as the hard waxes. For your car you won't go wrong with either,
Rain Forest Rub - Soft Wax - All Colours
Purple Haze - Soft Wax - Dark Colours
Hard Candy - Hard Wax - All Colours
Blue Velvet - Hard Wax - Dark Colours
or Supernatural
I wanted to try Supernatural so I have the panel pot, you should get at least 3 to 4 coats out the 30ml pot.

I hope that helps you and thanks for your comments about my detail

Great info thanks...now I'm stuck choosing between Blue velvet or supernatural.... but thinking my car is Astro Black so maybe blue velvet would be best.

Do you recommend at least 2 coats of Dodo juice wax..?

Yes two coats. You don't have to but 24 hours apart is best this gives the first coat plenty of time to bond.
I have had a look on the Dodo forum for pics that might help you to make up your mind what wax to choose,
