I posted some of these pics in a thread on the Mod board, but didn't want you Detailing 101 guys and gals to miss some pics of Dr Evil all cleaned up and shiny.

After pulling off the OEM stripes, I did the whole schmear...

Dawn Wash
Clay Bar
Another Dawn Wash
Prima Swirl on LC Orange Pad
Prima Amigo on LC White Pad
Prima Epic
Waited 48 hours and another coat of Epic
A spritz of Prima Slick











PS. Noooooooooooooooo TAPE !!

 

I was just about to post and ask how much taping you did... Wow...
What about the nooks and crannies (like the rear bumper parking sensors)?

 

Took me no more than 8 minutes to clean up the nooks and crannies, Blimey. Cotton swabs and a thin microfiber towel.

I pretreated the black trim, of course. So they cleaned up easily... the polish was laying on top of the Back-to-Black. After I cleaned off the polish, I went over it again, this time with 303.

 

By the way, here's what was left after I pulled off the OEM stripes. Not a bit of adhesive residue. Had the "Goo Gone" ready but didn't need it.

Just the lines of wax residue that had built up on the edges:

 

I like how Bergie is in the background of shot 1, almost watching out for little brother. Doc looks good. Now, you need to take the 3 out for a nice photoshoot!

 

Yep, we're planning on a family portrait soon ! Any idea who can drive the 3rd MINI to the photoshoot location for us ??

 

Umm....i have a license!!

 

I said my piece on your other thread. Now you're just rubbing it in!
Still so shiny, so wet, so glossy ... droooooooolllll

 

Beautiful detailing job!

 

looking good!

 

Yeah, you still do. But we've all heard about your driving !

Not rubbing it in !! Just know how the other OCDetailers love pics of shiny stuff so didn't want any of them to miss them in the other forum.

Thanks ! My 46 year-old back needed heat and ice aftewards but it was worth it.

That coming from Ken and there's not even been a DROP of Hydro on it. YET. Thanks !

 

^^ lol!

 

That is gorgeous!! Nice job

 

Thank you, 44 ! Couldn't do it (that well) without the PC and the Prima stuff !

 

Gorgeous! That JB reeeally shows off the liquidity gloss you've created!

Excellent work! (and nice job doing so without taping! )

I too am looking forward to the family portrait- once you figure out to do that! If you manage it, maybe I could feature the portrait on the Detailers Paradise home page. The 599 pic is getting a little stale. Your threesome lineup would be a great replacement!

So much so that the image source is broken

 

WW, Heather... that's an honor to even be considered for your website !

I will definitely have to find a great backdrop for the portrait (certainly not in my driveway with the neighbor's broken fence rail in the background like in one of the pics above), make sure the Triplets are all properly bathed and shiny, and take a few shots for your consideration.

And, oh yeah, must figure out how to get 3 MINIs to the photo location with only two drivers. Ummmmm.... any volunteers in the local area ? Any DCMM members want to help out ?

What's that, Jeremy ? I can't hear you !! What ??

 

Great job and what a gorgous JB I must say !
May I ask where you got the jacks on the rollbars ?
Just want to see if they have German flags too

 

Thanks, Volker !

Those UJ's came from Mike at Aesthetic Creations. He also provided the wheel center caps and the warning label covers (also UJ).

 

Me!! ME ME! Pick me!!

 

Sweeeet !
Thanks !
