I just picked up my 2003 Mini S! I am so excited. I bought it from a mechanic and it is wonderful! I would like to clean the headlights or have them cleaned...they are a bit foggy. Also the black trim right around the roof has "faded" spots that I would like to make the whole strip solid black again....what can I use? I also have an arm rest and would like a cover?
Any help is appreciated! I love my mini!!!

 

Mothers Back to Black works well as does Black Wow on the black trim. I have had good luck with Meguiars #10 Clear Plastic Polish for the headlights and tail lights.

 

For the armrest- look at Redline goods. They make leather armrest covers that are easy to install and look great.

 

Find the Detailing 101 forum and go to school. Octaneguy is the head guru there and if he says the sky is paisley, you don't have to look. Enjoy your MINI and discover what it means to motor.

I use BacktoBlack also and am very happy with the results. Oh, and one other thing, watch that armorall comercial carefully and pleadge never to use a product that requires a crew to clean up after. Top products you'll find used by MINI folk are Prima, Griot's, Meguiar's and Mother's. Not in that particular order.

 

Thanks much! I just love all of the input on this site! I want to take special care of my mini "Mimi"
