Hey all,

My wife just bought a laser blue 2008 Mini Cooper s convertable in late June, ans I still have not taken any products to it! So I've read through these forums, and done a little shopping, and here's what I'm planning on buying in the next day or two. Please let me know you thoughts...anything too much, anything missing? Thanks!!!

(all from detailer's paradise so far)
-Prima Epic (inital wax)
-Paradise monster Fluffy (removing the Epic)
-Paradise Skinny Applicator-3 pack (I will surely drop one while applying)
-Black Wow (the black trim already had some white streaks!)
-Prima Hydro (for use on the wash after I wax with epic, right? or is "slick" better?)
-american delux sheepskin mit with thumb


-best ragtop care? Renovo work? cleaner or "ultra-proofer"?
-what about leather care? I use mcguires on my other car, and it leaves the seats shiny...i don't want that.
-vinyl dash care? Use Prima nero?
-any special wash mix?
-good source for drying microfibers? I have one from checker, but would like more.

Be sure to get the gallon size Hydro! I use it after every wash, in between also. It builds up and cures to a brilliant deep shine on my wife's CR Clubbie. It even makes my PW look good. If spot cleaning is needed (bugs, light tar, etc) I then use Slick. They can be used together or alternately. You can't go wrong.
