So that looks great, nice work! How long did it take you? Next time you'll have jump into Black WOW. It will be interesting to see how the Banana Gloss holds up. Do you have Hydro to boost the durability after washes?
Thanks for the pictures.
Took about 5 hours, but I was in no rush and took a couple breaks. SFL sun is a killer. No hydro yet, went with Slick but my next order will include BW and Hydro for sure.
Found a couple paint chips as well as windshield chip during the detail, very frustrating but that's what happens when you drive on I-95 110 miles a day I guess.
If you are interested in fixing those chips I can recommend the Langka product. Check it out at http://www.langka.com/complete-paint...-kit-p-30.html I use it all the time. I don't as much as you do every day, mine comes in spurts with trips to Wyoming. I only drive about 15 miles on a daily basis but I still get chips that need filled and the Langka product works really well.
So again, nice work and be sure to get some Hydro & BW.

Nice and shiny MINI !
Yeah, the only downside to detailing the mini is finding some new chips.

Yeah I've read a few post about Langka and another one, dr paintchip I think. I'll be giving one of them a try. I also got a busted front daytime (fog) light that the dealer will be swapping out so they said they would fill the chips. Also talked them into installing my JCW grill.
you luck dog! my wife doesn't allow me to detail our mini car unless i have to clean up our house first. i rather put the chore for the house on hold and detailing it today since the shipping of prima & black wow from dp should arrive here today.
btw, nice and shiny mini!
if it helps you to feel better to know that you are not alone then i get chip too after only 3,000 mileage on my brand new 2008 mcs last two weeks age.
The prima products really have a nice quality to them and claying is so easy. I was amazed at how smooth the finish was after I was done claying. Adding the amigo and banana gloss just made it like glass.
