Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Edition

Owner found me through Autopia I believe and just wanted the exterior polishes and sealed. I was about to achieve 85-90% correction on it without too much effort. The black roof was pretty soft and the rest of the car was a moderately hard.



Products Used:

CG Wash and Clear and Megs APC in Foam Gun to soak

CG Wash and Clear via 2x4 wash method

Lowes GS

electric leaf blower to dry followed by WW MF towels

Power Clean on wheels, arches and tires

EZ Detail Brush, Mini and swissvax wheel brush

Griots Garage 6" RO polisher

LC White pads

LC Orange on problem areas

LC Black

Optimum Polish II

Optimum Poliseal

Optimum Car Wax

Optimum Opti-bond on the tires

IG on Glass

Rejex on wheels





The owner keeps the car in very good condition. No interior work but I did do a quick vac and the interior windows.

A few light water spots on the paint and decals. Nothing a little polish can't take care of.

Old wax from the owner, not a problem that little detail brush and apc couldn't fix

cool cars. JCWs aren't very common.



I also had the pleasure of picking up and dropping off the car and with it being lowered it handles like it's on rails!
