New owner from Boise

Had a 50+ moment and purchased a 2012 cooper S convertable what a difference between this and my original mini from 1974, still has the the same familiar handling and quirks 😏.

Great, nice R57. Top down motoring is the best.

Ordered some OEM cleaner from you guys what do you recommend for conditioning and sealing afterwards ?
Just got back from a 5 day mountain road trip chasing cars up to the top and back down again.
Wife was a little quiet but i had the biggest grin , nice to be back with a stick shift again.

Looking for a sealer for the soft top, it's not leaking but just want to keep ahead and be proactive on it
