Detailed VADER!!!

Well finally got around to do a complete detail on my car. Process was a wash, one pass of Meguiar #80 with Meguiars 8006 polishing pad, then one pass with Meguiar #82 with Meguiars 8006 polishing pad, one coat of Prima Epic, and one coat of P21S. Let me know what you think. Don't really like how the pics came out, but they will do for now. Thanks

Pete W, that is one great looking Mini. I like the non-typical aero kit!

Black along with white our my favorite colors.

31 is a heat wave these days. It is almost hot. If it makes you feel better.....I hate Ohio also.

Yeah that's it Peter, just rub it in why don't you. We know that the rest of us are just pigs and love to neglect our MINIs. You are so much better than us, we are not worthy.
My poor, poor Matilda is filthy and I really wish I could get her clean. I wash her one day and later that same day it looks like she made love to a mud puddle. Not the slow cuddly kind of love , but a violent rap music kind of violation . I am so sick of winter.
But yes, VADER looks brilliant and I'm so jealous!
(more pictures please, and could you describe in detail what you did and how long it took and what the sun felt like on the back of your neck and whether you worked up a sweat and how sore your arm got and how the shine almost blinded you and how good the Prima smelled and ... OK I'm crying now!)
