Just picked up my 2023 MINI Yours Cooper S Convertible.
My first “S,” first ‘vert, but the fourth MINI I’ve owned/leased. Also own a ClubVan, but this F57 is brand new to me, fresh off the boat!
Questions:
-What do you use to treat/protect/clean your ragtop? The more specific the product, the better. Are there specific brushes or other tools you find helpful in preserving the top, especially if it’s a daily driver.
-Did you ceramic coat? If so, what do you use to get your exterior looking sharp again? This color shows fingerprints super well, ha!
-How do I get the rear headrests to sit down low, Euro-Style? I won’t have any passengers back there, so it’s not a safety issue.

I've been very happy with Griot's Garage products for exterior and interior.
Question, it's a bright sunny day, what's that ugly black thingy on top of your cabrio?
Only four reasons the top goes up on mine.
1: It's raining.
2: It's snowing.
3: My co-pilot/navigator is whining about being too hot or cold a I can't hear the supercharger.
4: Some guys are throwing empty beer cans in the back seat and didn't invite me.
Oh yeah, and welcome to the wonderful world of topless motoring.

Thanks for the recommendation!
I spent all day zooming around my state topless, lol, I have to maintain appearances when my neighbor is a cop.
Used 303/Chemicals Guys and its been good on my top. Used to use the MINI branded stuff (which believe is sonax, which they dont carry anymore) also once a year, its beads the water off and helps prevent stains.
Gummi Fledge and grease is also what i do. Video bellow shows it.

Richard used to be very active on NAM. Just a couple of drops covers more than you'd think and it lasts a long time.

YES! Pretty sure I had that for my first MINI, leased 2013-2016. Thanks for the reminder, I couldn’t remember what the product was.
