Baby's First Bath...
 

Okay...so, I've had my mini for exactly 9 days :nod: , and it's overdue for a first wash:razz:

Never been one to fuss too much about this sorta thing, but something's changed. I love my MINI. I'm terrified of putting scratches/swirls/cheap product slime over my paint and vinyl. Done lots of reading here, seems like a Prima package is the way to go, and was about to order (postponing baby's first bath until the stuff arrives), but got confused about Hydro.

As it's a new car, can I wash and then Hydro, or do I need to lay down a layer of Epic first??? then Hydro???:confused:

Also - do you do inside the car first, then outside? Windows last?

I know, I know, have I never washed a car before? Well, yes, but it was a pick-up truck...detail?? Dirt was the detail!:grin:

Thanks

Well, okay. There are lots of ways to go about it, to be honest. Wash/Hydro is probably the easiest way to go about it. However, I sleep better knowing there's a long-term layer of Epic on my MINI. So I do a round of Epic 3 times a year, and then Hydro with each wash.

Same here. I felt better once I sealed the paint with Epic, and use hydro to put the shine and glassyness (if that's a word) on the paint.

We's gots much words only us OCDers understand:nod::razz::thumbsup:

So, i'm still waiting on my mini, but expect once it gets here, i'll become very detailed like the rest of you.

Hydro? Epic? Someone explain.
