Welcome to the forum, you will probably recieve a number of protection suggestions, sort them out. How about some pics of the new MINI?

Congrats & Welcome! The fun has only just begun....enjoy!

Hit some of the detailing threads and some of the vendor websites for detailing & product suggestions. Everyone's care and driving habits are so unique...mine are very structured/type-A/OCD so I better stay out of it.

IMO the clear bra is a must, but there are others that think differently. I had the 3M product installed locally almost 3 years ago and have been happy with it. There is another product (Venture Guard???) that people rave about also.

Doing a search in the Detailing forum is your next step.

Enjoy your new MINI!!

I had the 3M product installed before I took delivery of my Clubman in 6/08. I'm glad I did it and would recommend it to anyone, especially after two cross-country trips.
