Amazing Detailing video of a rare MINI

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this since the video is pretty old but I just saw this earlier today and thought I would share it with you guys.

I have no idea since I have no experience with paint correction but that was cool!

I am very impressed! I am still learning, ordered about $300 from Griots as a starter kit to get me going. Will need to add the orbital soon.

My Mini is on order. S Coupe Black with Silver Stripes. Do I need to be careful about the stripes? I assume they are painted on? Was reading other threads about Vinyl Stripes?

And what is that blue tape? Special? I assume you DON'T use normal masking tape here. Sorry to be new and stupid.

Yes, I am OCD and a perfectionist. I just want to learn to do it all correctly. Just like the video which is incredible.

Stripes are not painted on. They are all decals applied to the paint.

The blue tape you were asking about is painter's tape which you can buy in Lowe's or Home Depot...
