Detailer's Domain: Mini Cooper Nightmare
Mini Cooper - This Mini was a bit of a surprise. We figured it would be a 8 hour job. How bad could it possible be, its such a small car. The customer asked for paint correction services and the interior to be cleaned....he then added he would like the wheels pulled off/detailed and the wheel wells detailed as well. Okay when we got the car it was something else.......take a look what a disaster!
Products Used: Exterior: Einszett Blitz in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Adam's Gray Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancerfor clay lube Menzerna Power Gloss Compoune Menzerna Super Intensive Menzerna PO85RD Menzerna Top Inspection Einszett Glanz Wheels/Wheel Wells/Tires/Engine Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit Interior: Leather Master Strong Cleaner Leather Master Vital Leather Master Protection Cream Einszett Deep Cleaner Einszett Gummi Adam's Glass Cleaner Dressing on Trim Black Wow Tools: Infratech 5300 Fenix TK11 3M Sun Gun Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Flex 3403 Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Before shots:  Wheels    That wasn't so bad........let's start with the interior detail. Interior before shots: --- Dog hair???? no one said anything about dog hair...             So how in the world do we attack this interior. After careful thought, we decided to pull the rear bench out as well as the front seats. Ugh the seats!  Time to pull them out  Hair was everywhere   The rear bench   So what do we have underneath the bench    Dirt, dirt, and more dirt...    Tommy on the vac   Driver's area   More vacuuming  Time to pull the front seats out (battery was disconnected) Tommy pulling out the driver's side   Dan assisting Tommy on the seat removal  Under the driver's seat  More hair!   Cleaned up   Bench back in, Tommy finishing them up  Seat out, cleaned/conditioned/protected   Passenger seat being put back in   Final shots of the interior      Door jamb before   Door jamb after  Now to the exterior: Starting with the engine start to finish: Before shot of the engine       Dan on the P21S     Brushing/Agitating all the built up grease, grime, and dirt    Rinsing down the engine bay    Engine wipe down  Final shots of the engine:   Wash - Paint correction - Wheels - Wheel Wells The presoak    Foaming and washing down the car     Washing down the car with an Uber Sponge  Wheels on the car getting P21S on tires and wheels, wheel wells pressure washed  Claying the car  PG with the Makita and the Uber Yellow  Checking the paint with a Fenix TK11   50/50 shot of the hood Before shots of the hood      The roof was a mess we did as much as we could on it without wet sanding, scratches were pretty deep, take a look   Under the Sun Gun  After PG and SIP  After PO85RD  Polishing out the bumpers  We put the car on jacks to move on to the wheels and wheel wells   Wheels          Dan and I claying the wheels   Cleaning up the wheel wells    Dressed up in Adam's Undercarriage Spray    Finished wheel wells     Finishing touches Black wow on the trim   After shots inside and out                 I hope you enjoyed this one. We look forward to your comments |

Did the owner let the dog drive on the roof too?
Animal hair is the biggest pain in the a$$ because it attaches to whatever fabric or cloth it lands on. We have two cats, and I lint brush myself every morning before getting into the car because I was starting to collect so much fur in the car. Amazing work, guys!

thats nasty, whoever the owner is a filthy animal for ever allowing their car to look like that in the first place. No respect for their own possession!

You get what you pay for. Great job with that Mini. These guys seem to be on another level for detailers. The sad part is that the owner probably came to pick the car up WITH THE DOG.
