dsms detail - Mini Cooper, Big Correction

Mini in for some correction work and full interior exterior detail plus wheel removal

Before prep, some etching on the hood, dried out trim etc.







Couple readings, and no I was not able to make a 3D model of this on my computer sent via bluetooth and then organize each individual reading on Excel spreadsheet .... but somehow I made out okay when polishing :hippie:

Some before shots of correction. Ended up with a 4 step process from start to finish, rotary around 2100 for compounding and finishing down around 1200.

Yes I know the yellow tape on red paint looks like a Ronald McDonald mobile :help:







Few after shots








On the smaller areas with lots of edges I switched to the DA from the rotary so I could work with 1 hand clean





Wiped the car with alc/h20 and pulled it outside to check for correction before moving onto to the rest of the car











Always use the hood as my gauge for the rest of the correction, get that as good as possible and set the tune for the rest of the job.

Back inside for the rest









One of my Porsche customers stopped by for an estimate, silver car :violin:



Front bumper

















Removed wheels for further cleaning and protection, cleaned up the undercarriage a little more followed by dressing







2 claybars did not make it home after the wheels :goodn:



Little tarminator helped loosen up some tar, adhesives etc.



Rejex x2





Couple after shots









Some opti-seal on the interior plastics

 

lookin good, how did you like becoming a contortionist to do the back seats? lol

 

nice work

 

looks nice and red. nice job. what you use to get cacked on brake dust, spend 2 hours today cleanning STI wheels with that, had to use cley an WB

 

looks like you gave this car a nice refresher before it got really bad.

I love to see a nice wheel removal andinner fender detail. warms my heart.

 

Nice job David. Looks way better now.

 

Very nice job

 

great job as always dave!

 

Love your work David. Always gives me some food for thought and I always learn a thing or two! :thumb:

 

Should have seen ME in the back seats of the two Mini's I did recently, great correction and detail Dave I mean "Mr J" ...."supercleaness" again.:applause:

 

beautiful work as always!

 

God I love reading your write ups! Wonderful work sir!

David, if I were to get another rotary which would you recommend. Already love my 3403, but I'm looking for something as a back up or something to help take a load of the trusty Flex. Any opinions?

Again, top notch!

 

looking good man. Red i find is very hard to photograph when comes to the defects but all and all it came out great.

 

Nice man!

 

Where did you get that rotary extension and also what kind of backing plate/pad was that you were using on the tailights.

Do you use a rotary or DA to do the mirrors?

 

Awesome job Dave.

 

Nice work Dave!!!

If you want to make your life easier, get a torque bar/wrench to unmount wheels instead of using that little emergency bar

 

great job love those minis

 

Lookin sweet dude!!

 

great stuff david
