Yesterday i gave my MINI an 8 hour clean ready for London to Brighton MINI show, and man was i tired afterwards!

I washed her with Meguires shampoo..using the meguired lambs wool wash mitt

dried her with meguires terry towel..

washed her wheels and as far as i could get behind her wheels and under the arches..

clayed the whole car with meguires clay kit, windows plastics etc..

then i used meguires paint cleaner all over the car then buffed it off..

I then applied meguires polish and buffed that off..

then i waxed the whole car with meguires spray wax.. again buffed it off

waxed the wheels with meguires wheel wax..buffed it off

polished the stainless steel exhaust with autosol..

applied meguires plastic care to bumpers, boot lid, and every bit of exterior matt plastic..

applied meguires tyre gel..

cleaner the whole engine bay with MINI plastics care..

hoovered the whole inside of the car..

put meguires leather care on the seats..steering wheel.. arm rests..gaitors etc..

applied MINI plastics care to interior dash etc

after finishing the 8 hours of this she looked like this ...:p

That sounded like a long days work ! , but I think the satisfaction of standing back and admiring Your work must have been rewarding . I just wish I had the patience to spend that long detailing My car . about an hour and I am usually sorry I started .
