Perhaps I'm not looking far back enough but I have a couple of questions:

1) I want to keep my PW/B Mini Cooper looking as good as new years from now. Most of the threads I've read are for darker colored or metallic cars, but what about the matte paint ones?

What cleaning/detailing regime should I practice to keep my baby as gorgeous as she was on the day I bought her?

2) The roof and sides of the car are also black, what can I do to keep those from looking swirly or scratched?

3) What can/should I keep on hand to clean off dirt or mud or bird crap or bugs?

Thanks y'all!

 

Clara is PW Although with a PW roof...

But the good news is that PW might just be the very best color in terms of hiding swirls.

 

Its the same thing as any other paint color. Pure Silver and Pepper White show swirls the least, but you aren't immune.

Wash with the two bucket method, each 5 gallon bucket should have a Dirt Guard.

Use a Lambswool wash mitt.

Wash with Prima Mystique

Wax with Hydro or Epic Wax

By a PC if you want to polish out swirls, and of course buy my DVD to learn how to use the PC to it's max potential.
