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

My MINI sat out the weekend as I moved my son to start his first full time job. It took over 3 months to get his security clearance. They had to move him from secret to top secret. Now he'll never be able to tell me what he does.

 

That just means he has more headaches to deal with.

 

Threw some spacers on this weekend

 

Did an exterior detail on my mini -- hand wash, clay bar, wax, plastic-trim restoration. First time I've done this on my new-to-me 2009 MCS. Discovered it had more paint dings that I thought, and the trim is loose in some places but other than that it looks fantastic -- very shiny!

Nice job !! It looks really sharp !!

 

Looks great.

How some people think Chili Red is not the best color is beyond me. :devil:

 

Thanks.

My thoughts exactly about Chili Red. It doesn't seem like a "real" mini if it's not red...

For the first time in over 16 months, my car was started.

 

Congratulations Chris! You found the key! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Dropped mine off at the body shop to get the bonnet and bumper touched up.

 

Started with a headliner replacement today. Got it out in about 2 hours, then spent 4 hours cleaning the old headliner. What a messy job, even with the proper tools and patience.

Tomorrow it's time for the 3M industrial strength glue to make it all pretty again.

 

I don't have my MINI right now. It's on vacation getting a "little" upgrade work done.

I do have a 1998 Z3 M Coupe in my garage that I have been detailing the past few days that I may be able to finish tomorrow.

Everyone thinks it is a new car now. :lol: When car people can't tell how old a car is by looking at it tells me I have done another great job.

Maybe you should consider quitting your day job. There's good money in that uber detailing stuff.

£4,400......

Saw it in person this morning.... Eric is going to need some alone time when he gets it back at Helix.

 

not today, but recently did a few things.......jcw Aero bumper , custom filled sidelights (to match rear Euro arches) and texture painted to an exact match of factory plastic trim (it even feels the same)...that and the Zender Milano wheels with body color matched lug bolts.....custom wrapped 2 spoke wheel.....getting there...

 

First thing, any newer Ferrari like an Enzo is very easy to detail because they are babied and not daily driven and all all kept in temp controlled garages. That car was very clean to start with, just look at the reflections as they backed it out of the garage to wash it. So that detail was very simple.

Second, I do the same things including doing the wheels the exact same way, I take off wheels and polish and glass seal them the same way. Hand waxing is simple and not impressive at all when you use high end waxes.

Let's see how they would do on an 18 year old daily driver with 113.000 miles that sits outside and was not moved or washed in 6 months. :lol: <<< Cars like this are a high end detailer nightmares and most of them will not touch them.

You will see my work when Eric the owner Helix gets his car back next week.

 

Are you sure it will be next week when Eric posts his pictures next week after you give his car back next week?
