Mirror Image: Mini JCW Edition

[Labster]

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.

Foam Gun soaking

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

All taped up and ready for some minor surgery

Some afters

I love Minis. The Cooper Works is just sick. Nice job.

Shame the sun wouldn't come out for you. Looks good nonetheless.

I'd love to have a Mini as my DD. They look like stupid fun.

You aren't lyin. I wish it would have though. It peaked out periodically but never stayed out for more than a few minutes.
