Pepper white Mini Cooper

[Starvekos]

I hooked up with GTI07 today, we planned to detail one of the family cars. So we braced the summer heat and started at 12h00 detailing a Pepper white Mini Cooper. It was a tag team detailing job which allowed us to finish at around 16h30, including a couple drinks breaks.

Wheels

• My Wheel Brightener sprayer was playing up again. The spray head was clogged up and was not letting through any product. We reverted to the Sonax Xtreme full effect wheel cleaner.
• Excess dirt was agitated with a wheel face brush, versa angle tyre brush, wheel spoke brush, synthetic wash mitt and a long handle wheel well brush
• Mags sealed with CleanerWax liquid
• Tyres dressed with Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel
  

Body wash

• Sonax High Gloss shampoo, two bucket system using a microfiber wash mitt
• Rinsed and dried with a Werkstat waffle weave towel and Adams Detailer spray as an aid

Preparation

• M105 Ultra Cut compound, Sonax polishing using a Makita BO6040 dual action polisher
• M81 Hand Polish by hand

Dressing

• Windows cleaned with Glass Cleaner concentrate
• Trim dressed with M40 Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner
• Rubber dressed with Hyper Dressing diluted 3:1
• Soft top sealed with RaggTopp protectant aerosol spray

Protection

• M21 Synthetic Sealant
• Ultimate Quick Detailer
