Very nice car! But I do agree with others that maintaining a black colored car is very frustrating. Anyway enjoy!

As a fellow black MINI S owner I have to agree that the MINI paint is too soft and the black is really starting to show it's flaws. However, a few hours of detailing makes up for it as there is notihg like a clean, black car.

Hey Twinky! Congrats your lil-blk beauty! (Hmmm good plate ID "BLK BYUT&quot

About the paint, all colors have to be maintianed well the key is keeping it waxed and not let the impurities get into the paint.
One of the best kept secrets to do this is to use a CLAY BAR. You can get one from your local Pep Boys. Everything you need is in one box $15. Get the "Mothers" brand.
