    New-and a special project.

    Heya people and thanks for having me. I have recently acquired a 2005 MINI Cooper R52 S (convertible) with 3,648 original miles. It was stored in a closed garage in Key Largo Fl. and is covered in a sandy, dusty, gritty film. The interior dash and trim is `sticky`. All unprotected metal has surface rust. The engine compartment need the aluminum parts refurbished as they are covered in a white film (oxidation ?)I will need your advice. Boy will I need your advice...I`m a detailing dummy...
