Mini Cooper S Makeover

[Frothey]

Well, this was fun today.... One minute sun, then thunder and lightning, sleet, snow then sun again. Oh, and gale force winds!

luckily I started it last night...





Dirty Zorsts..



Foamed with Hyperwash and a dash of snowfoam



Doing its thing



Washed with Hyperwash and Z sponge



Wheels were cleaned with 30% G101, Tardis, the short Vikan brush and various Envy brushes - some used back to front!



Wheels then clayed, and car put to bed for the night.

Up early next morning, car lowers wiped over with Tardis, then clayed with Sonus green and last touch. Revealing these....













Plastics and the edge of the decals taped ready for polishing...

Before



After



The weather was by now a bit iffy, so I didn't do any photo's until the car was polished. IP 3.02 was used on a 3M black pad.

I've never found a tyre applicator that I liked using until my missus bought these home from work for the kids - needless to say they are all in my kit now!



Plastics were "Black WOW"'d - I like to put it on relatively thick, then wipe off just before it's picked up. Grills dressing worked in using an Envy brush.



Remember this?



50/50



Both done



Inners Dremmel'd (well, Clarke'd, but I didn't want you thinking he's turned up!)



Done



LSP was two coats of Z Carbon, with a Zaino Z8 Wipedown After

Afters....

Cracking job - didn't think anyone used the old sponge these days with lambswool wash mitts etc  Suspect it's not too much of an issue with the two bucket approach.  The tool you use for the zorsts - what kind of tip is it, is it quite hard and do you put any product on the end (some metal polish etc)?

Great work there...


Where did the missus get the tyre applicators? I have never found one i like!
