BGM Spring Cleaning meet!

How would everyone feel about a Spring Cleaning meet? Clean and detail a few Minis that have had to suffer the winter weather? Is that something everyone would be interested in?

Since mine lives outside 24/7 365, I'm in favor of this. Even with the weekly bath, the winter has been tough. Where do you propose we do this?

Great idea!!. I have a PC with orange, white and gray pads. Polishers from poor boys, pinnacle and wolfgang (swirl removers). I also have some Klasse AIO and Glaze, along with carnaubas from Poorboys and Pinnacle. I think some synthetic and carnauba from Meguiars, and a new clay bar.

Will share them with anyone helps me installing my pulley!!! (and any other item I might buy).

I forgot the leather conditioner, black-to-black for trim and black magic for tires. I found an old S100 (which everyone compares it to P21)

I need to buff the paint on my poor Mini. Looks like the passenger sie fender went through some bushes :(.

Hope to have my paint guy polish it soon. I want to clean out my wheel wells and undercarage more than anything!

I agree.

The last time I detailed my MINI -from wash to carnauba-, it took me almost 6 hours...

What about this Sunday? There is a slight chance of rain, however. Of course this far out, that could change.....
