Awesome turn around on the Mini. Too bad a nice little car like that is stuck with the owner it has. Both details look great.

Both look great Thomas! The mini convertibles are nice, not much paint on them!

At least the lack of rain should keep the mini clean for a while.

Re: 2001 Nissan Altima & my First Mini Cooper

Thanks for the kind words. Too bad the after pix are not good enough to show off the Altima. It came out real beautiful.

Great work Thomas. I am sure the owner of the Mini was stunned at the turn around...

Thanks Pat - She was very happy with the result. I think I was able to convince her to run it through a car wash at least every couple of months. maybe even call me to give it a proper wash, although I prefer not to "wash" cars.
