Default 7 Hour Detailing Session By Hand!!!

Decided that it was time over the weekend to give my Mini her first proper clean and detail of the year..... I wash and wax her most weekends (as quite a few of you are already aware! lol) but this time I wanted to give her a thorough clean, clay, polish, wax & seal on the outside and a complete clean inside too.

This was to coincide with the London to Brighton run on Sunday as I had entered the Show n Shine competition..... don't know why I did in the end as they said it WASN'T going to be a concourse competition but ended up that it was!! No way I can get a normal jack or trollyjack under my car to get the wheels off seeing as it's so low!!!

Anyway, here's a selection of pics that I took.... sorry I didn't get any of how dirty she was before I started cleaning

Shame the sun wasn't shining to show the sparkle in the DS paintwork!

All washed and now some masking tape prep work:







Removed the tail lights so that I didn't get any wax residue stuck in the gaps between the lights & the bodywork:



Polished up the zaust tips:



The shiney reflective finish after 7 hours of cleaning by hand!!!
