Trogdor and the Dragon Wagon both got a rinse this eve. I would have been done sooner but I had lots of visitors walking by the house. I keep the trailer in back so most people never see it here.

Hopefully the rain will go away by the time you get here. I can't go a day without being rained on! Well today the sun was actually out, and it was still raining.

After seeing all the 'MOCD' in the previous posts, I am proud to announce that Scooter is washed and Hydro'd, wheels are clean. Now all I have to do is a quick vacuum, check the pressure in the tires and check the oil.

Had to take a water break as the sun today is merciless.

Next week, after MITM, Scooter gets a wash, hot body wax and wax the wheels. I will have to talk with DP to see if they have a preferred wheel wax.

Scooter does need some Black Wow!

I AM DONE!!!! finished, and he is all tucked in for the night!!

small pics, cuz I need to clean out my gallery, haha, but also don't want to give away the glory of the shine achieved by Detailers Paradise products. I am very happy, "Josh" needed a good detail, and no better reason to do so than MITM....

Jon,

Not sure I want scooter to motor up with you and Josh, some of that shine might rub off onto him.

Nice job.

ah, well, don't be intimidated, every MINI looks awesome.

I think it is cool you also have "justacooper"....I love the looks of the hood way better than the S, always have.

Preparing Bercilak

I'm off from work starting on Thursday, but thanks to my son's school registration we can't drive up to Copper until Friday. So I get a whole day to check, wash, wax, vac and preen!

(...and to gaze admiringly at Bercilak's new graphics and new tires.)

sounds like you are going to have a day like I had today. I can't keep from walking out to the garage...but once I get there, I remember I put on the dust cover to keep it looking super fresh for the morning!!!

Have fun tomorrow, and enjoy your drive up on Friday!!

If you are getting your car ready for a long road trip, don't forget the emergency supplies (with duct tape included)!
