WOWed the Red Bull Girls....


So at MITM 2008, I heard that the Red Bull girls would be stopping by today and sure enough, within a few minutes of discussing them, they pulled right up into the car washing area.


I'm the first to approach them, and in doing so, notice that the R50 Red Bull rear deck looks kinda grey. In talking with the drivers, they mention that this particular MINI is a wreck and aren't so fond of driving it, however the R56 Red Bull looks MUCH better.



Not wanting to pass up an opportunity, I take a tiny bit of Black Wow to one corner of the deck and notice the black returning--I ask if it's ok to use my product to spruce up the rest of the MINI--at first they were a little cautious but seeing the results before their very eyes, they became very enthusiastic.


So with Ashley applying Black Wow with a rag on the other half of the deck, we finished it pretty quickly, just in time for them to wash the whole MINI, dry it, and then it began to rain, lol.

If you look carefully at the lower edge of restored black area of this image above the chrome trim you can just make out the original grey before the treatment.


Now the girls were saying it looked 100% better and thought it looked even better than the R56 Red Bull car and were eager to take the cars back to the "shop" to show their manager what they discovered! Their pride was restored thanks to Black Wow.

Hey, did they give you a few cases of Red Bull for WOWing them ??

Just imagine how many MINIs you could detail in a day if you were on a Red Bull high.

Richard, you are my hero. You fixed my paint when my GF screwed it up. Your brake job DIY helped me change my brakes. You constantly come up with great stuff for our cars. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Ken. I wasn't sure how well it would work--couldn't tell what the material was, so decided to just try it and see. My car is a 5 footer right now, lol. Needs some new paint work, but definitely from that angle looks sexy. =)

re: butt facing
hahaha, I didn't teach them to wash--they did that on their own--I just gave suggestions and took lots of pix.

Hahaha, no cases for me--just one can, lol. I'm normally too pumped up--natural high---to consume energy drinks--would probably give me a heart attack, lol.

You know which Red Bull Girl is the hottest ??

The one in the blue jeans skirt and black top.

She's the one doing most of the work !! I could turn her into an OCDetailer in no time ! THAT's hot.
