Friday night we gave our car a wash in preparation for spending Saturday with Richard at ShowCarDetailing and getting a full detail. The Mini is our daily driver, not to mention only car - so we both took the 82 mile trip down there to watch and help.
I can't thank Richard enough for patiently sharing his knowledge and expertise with us. It's really quite amazing to see what goes into a good detailing session.
We used Dawn for the double washdown, Swirl on the rotary, followed by more swirl on a PC and Amigo with PC's followed by Epic and Clarity on the glass. And of course BlackWow on the plastic trim

Richard - if you have any photos you want to add to this thread, please do. BTW I've got a couple of nice portraits of you from my 50mm lens. Shall I post them up here, or email them to you?
