The plan for this weekend.
So, I am doing a full detail this weekend. Here is a copy of the note I made on facebook.

So, it has been far to long since I have given my MINI a proper interior exterior detailing. I have long sense given up on having people do it for me (ever since they scratched her), so I do it myself now, and love it. So here are things that will be done.
Exterior
0. Take before pictures
1. Wash with dawn dishsoap
2. Clay all panels, wheels and windows
3. Mask off trim
4. 1-2 (depends on panel) complete passes using an air powered random orbital and Griots polish 3
5. 1 pass using Prima Amigo and the random orbital
6. 1 hand pass using Prima Epic on all panels and wheels
7. clean all black plastic trim using Black Wow
8. Take after pictures
Interior
1. Vacuum
(1.5: Remove front seats [maybe])*
2. Attempt to remove blood stains from seats**
3. Clean all plastic with a plastic cleaner***
4. Clean off all windows with Prima Clarity
5. Spray down all plastic with Prima Nero
6. Spray down all vinyl type surfaces with Prima Nero
7. Clean painted surfaces with Prima Slick and the protect surface with Prima Hydro
Engine Bay
1. Remove all loose dirt with water and rags.
2. Spray down intercooler cover Prima Nero
Total time is going to be around 2 days. [quote]
So, before I can tackle this I have 3 problems that need solving.
*: I want to remove my front seats so I can do a good thorough vacuuming around the usual crevices and underneath them. The only thing is that the Bentley manual states that the bolts that hold the rails in place should be replaced while doing this. Are the bolts anything special or would some high grade bolts from a hardware store work?
**: I have a few small blood stains on the driver side seat (nosebleed FTL), and I need a way to get rid of them. Anybody know of anything I can use on them? I was thinking of something with enzymes like natures miracle.
***: I need something to clean off the plastic trim. I have no time to wait for something from an online store, so would something like 409 be SAFE to use? The Prima Clarity bottle also says it works as a plastic cleaner. Is that for real?
And there you have it, the plan for this saturday, sunday and monday!. Apparently its going to be really hot here this weekend...
