OK did the outside - dawn wash, clay, two coats of epic 24 hours apart, and wheel armour.
Need tips on nero, how much and how is best way to put on, and just what to put it on or not put on.
Nourish, have Tuscan Beige leather, how much and best way to put on.

Nourish on your leather seats and steering wheel - a little goes a long way but make sure it's enough to cover the area.

Nero - some people water it down...I use it full strength but I spray it directly onto a MF pad and work it into dash, arm rests, and anything else that's vinyl.

For the "hard" painted dash pieces you can just use QD or even just a damp MF if they aren't really dirty.

Sounds like you're doing a good job!

 

I actually like to use Hydro on the painted dash parts, looks really nice.

 

I do Epic on the interior painted parts and then just clean with Hydro.
Like ML I use a microfiber (cheap Target orange microfiber - CTOMF) and put Nero on the towel then wipe. Don't forget your visors and hatch plastic.
I use Nourish after I clean the leather with something like FourStar Leather Cleaner (again with a CTOMF). I apply Nourish by hand - the actual hand, no towel or sponge.

 

Thanks-All!!!!

 

Can you order one of those hands from DP

Mark

 

Nope, my mom and dad gave it to me.

 

Gage faces - Nero or ???
And can i get good leather cleaner local or do i need to order.
The MINI is clean but VW and Ford 550 are dirty.
Thanks

 

Gauge faces, I just use glass cleaner (Clarity).

 

For leather, I use the Leatherique line of products... they are a bit pricey, but the feel is just incredible. Kept my wife's father's old Mercedes leather looking brand new (besides obvious wear wrinkles). It still feels as fresh as it would have twenty years ago, so I hope it does for the MINI.

The seats feel better than when I picked them up, that's for sure!

 

I use the Leatherique system once a year during the summer. This is the best way to clean your leather but it is too costly and onerous to do monthly. So for maintenance mode I still prefer FourStar for cleaning and the Nourish for conditioning.
BTW it is most effective to use Leatherique during the summer when you can shut the car and let the sun heat the interior during the four hour soak time the cleaner is working on the leather.

 

When you clean the leather do all or just used part-monthly,and nourish all.

 

Used or not you need to keep it conditioned. Remember you should clean your leather more often then condition. The cleaner the leather the better your conditioner can work. Keep those pores nice and open to let the Nourish in and do its thing.

Nice looking MINI Beeman!

 

Hell--its going to need more than PRIMA

 

 

Where's Ken and his PDR skills when you need him??

Sorry to see the damage.
