No, not one of those new ones made by BMW, but a 1971 Austin Mini Cooper. Unfortunately, the sun set after we finished, so the pictures didn`t turn out very well.



Washed it with Meg`s Gold Class, used some of Meg`s Fine Cut Cleaner, then some Show Car Glaze, and waxed it with either Zymol or Meg`s Gold Class paste wax (or maybe both, can`t remember... it`s been a few days). 303 and Autoglym Bumper Care on the tires and trim. A2Z on the wheels. Never Dull on the chrome. I have to say, this car is really difficult to work on. Tons of tight spaces, no real large, flat panels. And extra care had to be taken around the airbrush work. Spent more time on this then I do with any other car (even a Suburban is easier), and it`s the size of a golf cart. Anyways, here are the pictures. Maybe I`ll take some more when I get the chance.

Too long. Honestly, I can`t remember. At least four hours, and I didn`t even touch the interior (still doing a lot of electrical work, so it`s kind of pointless.
