The bargain $500 Mini finally sat on all 4 wheels tonight! One of the last things was the rockers. I had less then half the original clips remaining and the assortment that I bought had some clips that sort of fit, but the diameter. was a little too big.

These are the ones that go on the bottom. Having a little trouble finding the part number for the lower clip, or better yet a link for after-market.

Next, I painted the flares and the flat black on the rocker but haven' t yet painted the flare portion on the rear bumper. I saw some recommendations for some stuff that worked really well making it "black" again that I'd like to try for a bit before getting around to painting. Now I can't seem to find it.

Anyone recall what that was?
Hints?

Missed the shot when it was finally on 4 wheels



Punch list getting shorter...



Thank's rob j

Last thing, compounding and polish the roof. And put the consul back together, and clean the interior, etc...

 

I'm guessing what you're looking for is in this thread:

Last page talked about Black Wow, Black Magic, and a bunch of other stuff.

 

Thanks Husky,

I'm so bored on "lock down" I read the entire thread. I brought most of my tools home from the boat shed yesterday and tomorrow I'm going to start reintegrating them into my barn/shop.

I also have a dumpster coming tomorrow. It could get ugly...

I used a new to me product on all the exterior black plastic called “Wipe New” last week (Rustoleum product). The package contains 3 presoaked wipes each in its own pouch. Each one is single use. I used one wipe on the black exterior bits and it was an instant “WOW!” The black is like new and has easily endured some heavy rainstorms and two washings. My buddy who recommended it says it lasts over a year. That’s good because it’s quite dear. I bought mine at Canadian Tire in 🇨🇦. Dunno where you’ll find it in ‘merca but likely most auto parts stores.

 

I’ve used black magic. Trim looks like new and lasts...

 

I use blackmajic trim restore on my cars panels. Keeps them shiny for about a month and through a few car washes even..
