Formal Introduction (part Deux)

Now that its clean that is....

As some of you may or may not know I bought an 06' MCS last week. Anyway I'm SUPER ocd about the condition of my cars and and due to a weeks worth of rain storms and obligations (and a few restless nights) I just got around to cleaning it to my specs today. I didnt get everything I wanted done but I'm off till Tuesday so hopefully it will be in good condition by then.
Heres what I started with:

After wash, clay, paint cleaner, polish, wax and a few other dooda's:



I guess I can finally sleep well tonight knowing its clean and tucked away from dirt and grime. And now to move on to Modifications!

Very nice that7guy! Glad to see that all that elbow grease produced such beautiful results! BTW, don't seek help for that OCD... It serves you well!

They traded the MINI in for a what?! A Dodge Minivan! They should have gotten a Clubman!

It truly was your gain, my friend!

Congrats, keep the MINI shiny, and Motor On!
