I applied it to the whole bonnet 2 weeks ago & it looked freaking amazing. If it doesn't rain this weekend I plan to do the same to the rest of the MINI
Hi Bamatt, I just took a look at the Victoria wax site. Looks like interesting products. Have you purchased any of their microfiber products? there waffle drying cloth seems very inexpensive.

FYI: The Waffle Weave towel that Victoria Wax sells is smaller than most: 16"x24". Most are about twice that size, around 20"x40".

The smaller size can be handy for things like wheels though. In fact, we're about to introduce a smaller waffle to our line up (in a similar size as the Victoria WW).

That's good news! I occasionally drag mine on the ground while drying the sides of the mini. I would prefer to use more smaller towels that are not so long.

You don't put drop sheets around your MINI while detailing I'm shocked

No all I purchased was the red wax & QD. I got all my MF towels from DP

Still waiting patiently for the day DP finally starts selling a Monster Fluffy bathrobe

So is Lois

Here we are dividing up the Hydro





I let Mike (poyzin here on NAM) my bro-in-law keep the gallon jug, mine went into a milk jug.

Heather the Monster fluffies are wonderful, and Ruby the dog wants the black lambs wool mitt for a toy
