New Black Knight owner here! Just purchased a 2014 MINI Countryman S Black Knight edition from a dealer this morning, and could not be happier! I'd love to get feedback, tips, advice, and how-to's on keeping up this Frozen Black matte paint. Need to start getting some products ASAP, so any help would be much appreciated

So happy to see some other Black Knights!! Still loving mine. I just hit the cheapest touch-free car wash during the winters here in MN to keep the grime off and it cleans up great. Love the look and finish.
On a side note, the stock Goodyear tires are the worst set of tires I have ever owned; no traction, terrible ride and one already had sidewall failure. It is time to put something else on the car.

Thanks for the feedback on your care, and I absolutely love the look too!
Also, good to know about Goodyear. Mine has Pirelli run flats.

Yes, would be hard to match. If they have done the frozen colors of BMW's then they can do the Countryman. Since it the same thing.

I've had the Black Knight now for 1 year. Still love everything about this car. The finish has been super easy to care for and is holding up great. Finally got some new non-RF tires and it is soooo much better. No other mods at this point.
Any others out there have one of these and enjoying it?

My Black Knight - just a touch different.... 4 sale too ;-)
so I saw this forum and I thought it might give me the opportunity to try and find a buyer for the car. it has only 10200 miles on it and gets started regularly. it is sitting in a garage next to a 70 Malibu. I'm sitting in Korea not being able to drive it so I figured id try to sell it for what I owe and someone else can enjoy the car... anyway here are some pics. I will post this in the for sale section soon so if I'm in violation of the forum let me know....
for a video of how the exhaust sounds plus my personal ad for the car go here: http://my.pagecloud.com/wayne-potts
Custom Exhaust
19" JCW rims with H&R? Lowering Springs put on by dealer.

Re: New Knight owner
The old owner had a few different rides it seems, and was able to take pretty good care of this one. There are a few small scratches and chips along the grill as well as what looks like a bitty mark (where it looks as if someone tried to give a small scratch on the finish a buff :/ ) but out of everything mentioned, you wouldn't notice a single one if you didn't study it. Over all, I feel pretty lucky and was getting compliments on it the day I drove it home.
Was there a consensus on what the best wash to use was? any reccs from owners out there?
