Detailed a Classic....

I was told this was a 1971 Classic. Paint was in fair condition. It was loads of fun though. The paint had a clear coat.





TEST SPOT
You can see the polished out side on the left and the original untouched on the right. Notice the swirls in the paint.




Nice Reflection Shot


I pulled tons of scratches, minimized the effect of others, removed all kinds of marks and stains from the paint and bonnet stripes. The detail took about 5 hours.

I will be posting more info on this at my site at www.ShowCarGarage.com

I absolutely love the roof decal.....can you get a better picture of it PLEASE. Oh yeah classic Minis are too fun to drive, it is illegal in CT because it makes all the SUVs feel inadequate. Nice job on the detailing!

You got it! I've been inviting your MOALA guys to our c3 clinics forever, and since Maurice brought his classic, I gave it the full treatment---it looks SUPERB!!!

Sadly this will be our last clinic at this location. So those that attended were treated like kings!
