I've been reading Wash and Wash for some time now. Learning slowly along the way. I finally purchased some decent products and decided to test them out on my wife's 2008 Mini Clubman S yesterday. I'm exhausted and sore but very happy with how it turned out. First I washed and then clayed the entire car. It had a ton of contaminants on it from driving through a construction zone every day for the past year. This was my first clay job and I have to say it was very easy and straightforward. Next I applied Zaino All in One. I followed that up with 1 layer of Z2. I ran out of time but plan on adding more layers of Z2 later. I really liked working with the Zaino stuff. Easy to use and it looks great now. After I rest up and the weather improves it's time to tackle my 06 silverstone. Hopefully this is enough for the badge.

 

thats a clean suicide door machine!!
cleaner than it was when the dealer delivered it i bet...

badge in process- welcome newest wacko!

 

Looks good. Nice work, and good to hear you took the time to do some research first. It payed off

 

How do you like the clubman? Been thinking about picking one up for mt next DD.

 

It's my wife's daily driver. It's a very nice car. Feels like it has a lot of torque and plenty of power. I wasn't very hot on the looks at first but it's grown on me. My only real complaint is the torque steer. You better hold on to the wheel when at full throttle.

 

^right on. those things look like a lot of fun to drive, and although they're overpriced - they hold their value pretty well so it works on in the end. nice clean up
