I'll be getting my daily driving BRG in August some time. I live in NY, and I will be driving it in the winter. I plan to wax/polish no more than say 4-6 times per year. I think I'll be heading the Zaino way, perhaps layering P21S eventually. It seems that the true waxes add more depth to the darker cars, so I'm wondering if the BRG falls into this category...

I don't know whether I'm more excited about driving it or cleaning it!

BRG frequently confuses my eyes as metallic black, so I'd say it's a dark color!


Cleaning the MINI is fun (cuz it's small), but Motoring is definitely more fun!

Cheers, and August will arrive sooner than you expect!

I have a BRG Cooper and would consider it a dark color.

I have applied Klasse AIO followed by two coats of high sealant gloss. I have also topped it with P21S and Pinnacle Soverign Liquid wax (at different times of course). After using both products, I have to say the Pinnacle provides a deeper , richer gloss.

Conversly, the P21s gives a deeper more brilliant gloss on my wifes silver Corolla than does the Pinnacle. Seems like the P21s may be better suited for light colors while the Pinnacle is better for dark colors (just my opinion) Pinnacle is offering 10% off in July using discount code PIN0703. they are also offering 5.95 UPS ground shipping in July as well.
