Not sure what to use to keep them looking good.
On the top use RaggTopp fabric protectant. Use a mild soap or the RaggTopp cleaner with a horse hair brush for cleaning.

Thanks for the tips, looks like I need to wait another week before I can shine it up and protect it.

When you can, how about a close up of the wheels Interested in seeing what they look like up close. Are you having as much fun driving it as much as I am.

Waiting on our 2013 Bayswater Cooper S

We ordered our 2013 Cooper S Hardtop, Bayswater Edition, Kite Blue, Tech Package, Auto Trans

Order placed end of July, got the VIN and Scheduled for Production within a few days. Called ASKMINI and talked with rep, said it was in body shop. The automated system gives completion date of Sept. 4, 2012. Is a month in production right?

Congratulations! I believe MINI has shut down the factory for a few weeks, so your Production date sounds about right.

rims come in silver and the PC was $750 to get black wheels with the JCW package is not an option but when I saw what it would cost for JCW wheels this was a no brainer

You know they sell these rims from the factory black. It sucks they only sell them black to JCW buyers. I was able to snag a JCW interior and exterior but not these rims in black. They look great and surely worth the cost.

ASK-Mini says my Mini is in transit! I figure it should be in St. Louis sometime tomorrow. Just a few more days of popcorn.
