Finally had a chance to wax the car (embarrassingly, this is the first time I waxed it during the 3 years of ownership). I used TurtleWax Ice and Mothers Back to Black.

Any suggestions what to use for engine bay? That's next in the list....

 

Good job. For engine detailing see this thread

3 years!? I hope you clayed first!

 

Ahhhhh!!!! I can see I'm going to have to keep some sunglasses near my computer w/ all these shiny MINIs around here!! Nice.

 

Thanks very much! I will get to that after I get my 15% pulley installed. Gotta keep it clean from now on

 

Actually no... It just did not occur to me that I would need it. May be in few weeks I will refresh the wax and clay it first that time (got a clay bar kit today)... Thanks for the reminder.

 

If you think it looks good after clat barring, you should try using a random orbital polisher on that sucker...

There IS a difference. Looks great and have fun with your pully - I'm intensely jealous!

PS- lovely rims!

 

Wow.. your car looks great after the random orbital polisher treatment. I may have to look into that - eventhough, I lack the priviledge of having a garage :(

Yeah... I am excited about the pulley as well (justifying the cost was not easy though).

PS: Thanks!
