HELP!! Mini Starting Problems

Got done detailing my beloved Mini, parked it for the night. Next morning went to start it all the guages & nav turned on like normal. Turned the key and click click click, head lights flashing and my driver side door window starts rolling down and nothing . I removed my unichip just in case. Still no start. The Mini is not throwing any errors either.

I searched the forums found similar problem but nothing like this
Need help, has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Oh wait, you said you were detailing the car last night. You most likely drained the car's battery. You should charge the battery or jump the battery, see if it starts then. That would explain the clicking.
