Sweet. I've had a hard time embracing the R56 interior but yours is hot!

I have been thinking of doing all this claying and waxing to our Mini when it arrives this weekend, but I'm still debating on what should go first- the clear bra or the clay and wax??

Well you certainly don't want wax under the clear bra, so you could clay then put on the clearbra, or just put clearbra on first before it leaves the dealership.

Ok, makes sense, so then I can clay and wax after clear bra right?

Suggestions on a place in LA or OC where I can have the clay and wax process done? Thanks!!

You can clay and wax the clar bra and the rest of the paint anytime, so yes.

The best place is right here at my shop if you want to learn how to do it right!

I'm here 6 days, sometimes 7 days, depending on the weekend. I have open clinics at my shop every Wednesday from 5pm to 9pm where people can bring their cars and learn about car care and purchase Prima supplies etc..

I also have monthly clinics on the first or second Saturday of each month.

I have an 03 with 108,000 hard miles, never been parked inside, just claying and waxing(with some polishing) and it still looks great with no clear bra.
