I dropped Lush from the thread title, so it does not appear all we do is drink beer and stumble about while visiting the shade tree. Not that that may happen from time to time.

I have decided the best thing about my 49cc Honda scooter, is the fact that 99% of the time I have it at WOT:lol:.

old81, can you post some pictures of your paint? If you do, get either sunlight, or a bright light shining on the area of the photo, like this, to helps us see the condition of the paint.


As to product, I would stick to the Prima line, as you are already using other products from their line.

You should clay the car, regardless of what else you do, as it will remove surface contaminants. It is easy to do, and will take about an hour to do the whole MINI.

Prima Epic will give you great protection, and with Hydro, and Banana Gloss will last a year, although a lot of us apply it twice a year, spring and late fall.

Amigo is a great polish, and can be done by either a PC or by hand. Using a PC will give you better results though.

This is probably just the start of many questions you will have, feel free to start another thread here in the detailing forum, so your questions, and the answers you get are not buried in with the more random:lol: topics that go on in this thread.

Do you have a PC? I'll start some threads this weekend.

Yes

I'm stickying a couple of threads to the top of the list.

The best "How To" is OctaneGuy's (Richard) DVD ShowCarSupplies.com Shopping Cart - How-to Use the PC for Show Car Results

That said, I'll write something also that will touch on a few basic things.

Right now my goal is creating threads that cover the basic areas of detailing, that folks can read, add to, and ask questions.

I tend to be rather pithy in my writing, and I have NO skill at article writing, and it's detailing season, but I have some ideas.

Kick back, spin a yarn, have a laugh. That's what hanging out under the shade tree is all about.

Raining here right now, but it looks like it may clear up later this afternoon. Hopefully the MINIs can have a bath.

Oh, I got the gig with the Opera building props, start in 3 weeks.
