Here is my latest detail of my GF's JCW mini coupe. Enjoy
So not done any detailing for a while and now getting going again for the year with some stuff.
My Mrs recently traded in her Mini GP for this Mini coupe JCW, so as a treat i thought id give it the once over. Normally id take her car for a day give it the usual cleaning then tickle it with some lime prime and a bit of wax and thats that. This one as its black i knew i wouldn't get away with that and i also bought some new halogens for detailing and a Flex 3401 polisher:buffer:
So this one was full clean and decor, single machine polish with MF pads and meguiars correction compound. The lavished with a coating of CQuartz UK on the paintwork, G-techniq on the plastics and glass.
I was just getting cracked on with this but got a few pics with defects and some with them removed. So here goes Enjoy.
Before and during washing

Most of the car was like this and quite a few random scratches too so i would say i got all the swirls out with only the more stubborn deeper stuff left but for what i was doing this was fine by me.
Here is polished results

Once the polishing was complete the car was given a full wipe down with Eraser then i went round carrying out various tasks, 3coats of G1 on the glass, plastic trims dressed with C4 then the paintwork was treated to C-Quartz UK left for an hour the topped with reload. I had intended to treat the wheels with C-Quartz too but never had the time and will complete this another day so for now they have 2 coats of Poorboys wheel sealant and tyres dressed accordingly.
See finished results. :wave:
