This was a fun little car to clean. But size doesnt mean fast.



This is how it started out:

I washed with a foam wash with Megs Hyper Wash. Cleaned the wheels with sonax and p21s gel, neither could get the terrible baked on brake dust. Clayed the little amount of paint on the roof as it is mostly glass. The paint received 105 via a cyan pad with med/ light pressure followed by Zaino AIO.

Plastics dressed with 303, tires with megs natural shine protectant.
 
MINI paint is a challenge to keep swirl and scratch free. Ask me how I know! Good job on the save.
 
I owned one for several years. Lousy quality paint, IMO. The clear coat is pretty soft and prone to damage from the elements and wear and tear. Keeping it pretty was work!
