Lord have mercy! There are a ton of threads on this topic and I gotta tell you guys I would have never gave a single rip until I got my mini! Wow having your dream car makes a diff in attitude! (I even detailed my engine today! Dont tell my husband or he'll fall over! LOL) Anyhow, I have gone out and bought a ton of stuff already and I dont have everything I need Im sure, but I am running low on funds here and want to get my mini looking sweet for the historics this weekend.. My questions are- can I skip the polish step cause I dont have a polisher as long as I wax ? And I bought all microfiber towels and applicators so those should be good right? In case you wondered I bought maguiers stuff cause its readily avail and a lot cheaper than the zaino. For now anyway.

 

yes u can skip polish if your car has very little or no swirls, hazing, etc

did you get crap under your nails?

 

Hey Im may look like a girly girl but Im all tomboy at heart. You should see me drive! Im no shrimp wimp!! LOL And actually no I didnt get dirt in my nails! I wore gloves! HE HE

 

That's excellent!!

That's cool about the Meguiars but when you get a chance you may want to try Zaino. It's the bomb! I am a convert!!

It sure is a lot of work....but the reward is worth the work.

Once the cleaning bug bites it is hard to shake.
