Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

I had a huge fabric painters tarp on the back floor where my rear seat delete is. Not one little bit of dirt or seed got om my floor.

 

Dave you aren't trying hard enough.....

 

Very nice list of mods.

 

Wow, Crashton! Was there compound on that lens in the first picture? If not, you waited to long.

 

Really nice job as they look like brand new money. Should make a big difference night time driving.

 

Thanks. I'm pretty amazed at the results. Now I'm wondering how long until the UV coating wears away & I have to repeat this process. Maybe I'll lay another coat of the UV stuff on there.

 

Welcome back CD. I didn't mean to start another oil thread. LOL

Since you don't have much brake dust I think someone may have changed those pads out for ceramic ones. The oem pads are made from coal dust, if you had those you'd know.

 

I'm pretty sure you'd get more protection from extra virgin olive oil. Eight quarts wow that's a lot. Bet you can go 20,000 miles before you need to change it again.

 

Thank you kindly.

 

What a beaut!
I would appreciate any tips on how to get my engine bay (let alone the rest of) my mini look like yours! TREMENDOUS!
The previous owner of my r56 S didn’t seem to care about black crap under the bonnet..... maybe I’m just a fussy F#u”
Any thoughts on cleaning black gunk appreciated tho...

That sounds exactly what I’m talking about! It looks terrible.
What is this simple green cleaner you speak of?

The nice thing about Simple Green is you can mix it to your desired strength & use it for a variety of cleaning uses.

No drying? Wheels are the only thing I really dislike cleaning and generally don't! I can't see them when I am driving...[emoji33]
Been thinking about buying new Wheels with a more simple design just so they would clean easier. But too much money 4 really no other purpose than that. I would for sure use Gyeon if there was no drying! Thanks.

Talk about OCD! After four years of Culinary School in Switzerland I graduated with an OCD Diploma!!! No regrets ever though... only some did not like working with me!!!

I will try that product for my rims.

We have the hardest mineral water here in the country [40+ when the National average does not even go over 14!]. So I go to a "touch-less tunnel car wash" since I cannot wash it here at home. I also use a Mach1 [!!!] leaf blower but never fast enough for water stains to form if here... I use "Menzerna" products which I really like. Mercedes uses those products to finish their cars. Of course there is an Internet war on car products!!! I have watched 40+ hours of tutorial from Larry who owns AMMO in NY. Very helpful guy and one you can get in touch with. The car is black and I only have a couple carports... So... It is dirty 90% of the time and that is for now fine with me. Life is too short to sweat over such aspects... Thought about renting a garage near by, but... too much!

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

PS: have you used RENEW products? I am thinking for the plastic that surrounds the cars!!! Heard a lot of good about it. Stay the color it is suppose to for a long time...

Stay well, Ara

 

Glad everything worked out ok Jeff.
