[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Hi there,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I just ordered a Mini S and would like the Cliffsnotes version for dummies of car care. I do not have hours to devote to washing and waxing nor do I have the inclination to do that (I know everyone is going to bash me for saying that
). I’m getting the car because I liked the look and found it incredibly fun to drive. For my current vehicle, I just run it through the gas station car wash every once in a while (Ok, now I know I’m going to get bashed
). The fact that I’m willing to wash/wax this car by hand is a big step
. Time is a precious commodity and I would rather use it doing other things. I want to know what I should do as a first cleaning/waxing/etc. to protect the car for the longest period of time possible and what the
minimum amount of things I should do thereafter to keep it looking good. I would like to know which products are the
easiest and quickest to apply. I am willing to put the time/money in for the first treatment in order to put on a good protective coating but don’t want to spend too much time after that. I’m looking to maximize the time interval between major cleanings. What should I buy? The car will be garaged overnight and will be exposed to the FL sun during the day.[/SIZE][/FONT]
