This MINI belongs to a proud pet owner and the inside showed it. There was dog hair on every surface and nose prints on all the rear windows. The MINI needed more interior work than exterior work. There were only a few scratches on the paint and the swirls weren’t as severe as they are on most cars.
I washed the MINI with my lambswool washmitt and removed all the road dust from the surface. Once I finished drying it, I clayed the surface to remove any and all bonded contaminants. Once all the contaminants were gone, I polished the MINI with Prima Swirl and an orange polishing pad. When the swirls were removed and the paint was glistening, I applied wax and began working on the interior.
First up was to clean and protect all the plastic and vinyl. The dash and doors were covered in dust and dog hair. Next I cleaned all the interior glass and mirrors and finished with a thorough vacuum. Once I finished the interior, I removed the wax residue and set to work with the plastic trim and chrome. All chrome was polished up and the black trim was protected from further UV and weather damage. When everything looked spotless, I took my finished pictures and returned the car to another happy customer.
