OK...I was thinking of doing mine. But I am assuming I would need help. It wouldn't be until further along anyway. :smile:

Car looks very nice.

Yeah... I saw more than two days of sun predicted, so my MINI got a good washing/waxing. Gotta take advantage of the nice weather the way things have been going around here lately!

I use Zaino Bros wash, wax from my detail department, Stoner's Invisble Glass on the windows, Never Dull on the exhaust, Simple Green on the interior and wheels and Black Magic on the trim/tires.

Yeah, that looked like a Zaino job. I gotta get me some of that. You know how some products have different grades/levels. Is Zaino like that or is it just one thing?
