Prima Glossy eh!

I traded in my 05 Cooper PS for this 05 Cooper S Convertible PS.
I'm in love all over again.


So far I've claybarred, 303 protectant on the fabric roof. 4 or 5 times around the interior with Nero and 303 aerospace over the last week, it was dry.
I polished out the hood and strip of roof with swirl and the orange pad both 6.5inch and 4inch in some spots. The roof and A pillars I followed with swirl on the white pad. Then the whole car with Amigo on a white pad for the gloss factor. Epic by PC on the black pad. Polished all the chrome. Meguiar's Nxt tech wax for the wheels. 303 on the exterior trim.

Whaddya think?

Here are a couple shots.

Nicely done--I'm jealous! Here in WNY, salty roads and cold (brrrr) temps will prevent me from doing a similar job until probably March or April at the earliest. Then the dairy farms and dirt roads will provide significant 'challenges'. That's OK though; I knew about all that when I got the MINI and it's nice living in the country.

Anyway, your MINI looks GREAT!

It's rainy not cold or salty here, although we could use it for the Oympics.
I didn't even get to see it in the daylight before I drove it in the rain, geez.
Oh well at least I know its got some protection on it.
