This was the dirtiest MINI I've ever seen. Ugh. Took my most of the day just to get all the mud, dirt and debris off the car. This was a two day job, and I am pretty happy with the results.

BEFORE:








AFTER:

Used Poorboy's wax for the first time on this project. I love how it felt. Great wax if you like working it in with your hands.

Zaino Z-7 Shampoo
P21S Paintwork Cleaning Lotion
Meguiar's Aggressive Clay Bar
Meguiar's M105 on an Orange Cutting Pad
Meguiar's M205 on a Grey Polishing Pad

Yes that was one dirty MINI. Not any more - nice work!
I really like the P21S Paintworks Cleanser. It does a great job at cleaning the paint prior to clay.
So what is this "Special Blend"?

 

Very nice work !!

Shame.... with an owner that brings you a MINI looking like that, you just know in a few months it'll be filthy and/or full of swirl marks again. You should make them watch you when you detail cars that look like that.

 

It's a secret, sorry.

 

Nice job

It kind of hurts, to see those "before" photos, but the "after" ones make up for it

BTW, I just recently purchased a new 2008 R56, and so I haven't yet had to do anything treatment-wise with the interior plastics or leather, but most of these surfaces have kind of a "buff" texture, so it seems to me that a cleaner/conditioner like Eisenszett Tiefenpfleger would not be appropriate. Any recommendations ? Have you used their Cockpit Priemium product ?

 

Could you send me a picture?

 

nice job!

 

When I first saw the "before" pic I thought the car was from northeast Ohio.
