Mini/BMW "Seal and protect"

(1/2) > >>

swgti:
Bought my beautiful laser blue (the best colour by far no?) a couple of months ago now form the local Mini/BMW/Jag/ect, etc dealer and before I picked it up got their Mini seal and protect package (and before you start I know I should have known better), so I walked away with a gleaming car and a holdall full of Mini branded cleaning goodies. Anyway I've been quite impressed so far at how easy the car was to clean but a bit disappointed at how quickly the "beading" depreciated but as instructed gave the car the once over after a month or so with the hard Wax treatment and the results are below. I must admit the car does look stunning and the dirt litterally flies off it when cleaned but worth the money?, I don't know!!!!

How much was the package? Also get an open end hosepipe (ie no nozzle) and run some water over the flat panels. Will give you a much better idea - should have almost no water drops left if it's properly done. Also depends on how durable the finish is.

I'd have personally recommended a detailer who could have done a decent job on the car for maybe £150-200 and would be better and longer lasting.

swgti:
A whopping £240, but didn't seem that much when added to the price of the car, to be honest I could probably do as good a job myself, hindsight is a wonderfull thing. Topping up the "seal" litterally took me a couple of hours from dirty to polished finish and to be fair it looks really good but just not worth the money in my book. I've found a lad locally who does a full detail for £95 using top quality products so if need be it'll go there in future.

That is one stunning colour :drool: :drool: Was gonna go silver but I may have just changed my mind :happy2:

VW must have been out of their minds to drop Laser Blue from the GTI , it is by far the best Blue thats ever been availible on the Mk V.
