This MINI came for specific work: remove boot scratches, remove door scratches, touch-up rock chips and remove the seat stain. After the rain washed the car of loose dirt, I put the MINI in the garage and clayed the areas I needed to polish. I dried the car off and put a lamp near the bonnet to dry the touch-up paint I was applying. While the paint was drying, I sprayed the stain and got my materials to hand polish the boot. With the microfiber towel and Prima Cut, I was able to polish the scratches out and get the shine back behind the door handles. Next, I agitated the stain with a brush to get the stain remover working more aggressively. Now that the touch-up paint was dry, I used a white pad and Swirl to remove the excess touch-up paint. By this time, my extractor had completely heated and was ready to extract the seat and remove the stain; I extracted the entire lower cushion to prevent the seat from having just 1 clean spot and put the MINI outside to dry in the sun. Not long after the sun started heating up, the rain came back and prevented the seat from drying. I couldn’t get a 2nd look at the seat as it was still damp when the owner arrived and would have to finish at another time. A few days later, the MINI was back and I completed another 2-3 rounds of stain removal to get the stain out for good. The sun was playing games again, so I had to use my work light to dry the seat after each pass with the extractor.
