Default My Mini Cooper S

Gave her a quick wash. It's nowhere near as shiny as I'd usually do it - I need to find a way of removing this Supagard sealant crap, then I can add a nice layer of collinite











I'm seriously thinking it needs some black bonnet stripes - what do you reckon?

I'm sure that someone on here will know what to use, we do have a detailing firm with a space on the forum and they are always happy to give advice.

Car looks good, ive not seen to many about in that colour and I quite like it - black strips would improve on that too

nice one brother keano ,in my experience using APC in a foamer or lance attachement ,using about an inch worth of product and top up with hot water ,spray car covering starting from roof and letting foam work its way down ,leave for as long as you can and do not let it dry then pressure off and wash car 2 bucket method with a strong wash like megs shampoo plus or hyper wash (hyper is the best) and hey presto your car should be ready for a fat dolop of your favourite wax or sealent ,hope this helps
