Detailer's Domain: Mini Cooper, this is one you have to see
Mini Cooper - This Mini was a bit of a surprise. We figured it would be a 8 hour job. How bad could it possible be, its such a small car. The customer asked for paint correction services and the interior to be cleaned....he then added he would like the wheels pulled off/detailed and the wheel wells detailed as well. Okay when we got the car it was something else.......take a look what a disaster!

I have 1 thing to say and then some questions. First: WOW! (yes, just WOW!)
First, I don't know if they started doing this in the wheel wells in 07 or it was earlier but there's this weird carpet type crap in the wheel wells that all sorts of junk gets stuck in; how do you get that out? Second, what exactly did you do to the wheels to get the bits of tar and black grime off? I wash and clay and wash and clay and cannot get the little black specks off my rims!
Either way, phenomenal job! I would love to learn how to do this great of a detail job some day. Thanks for sharing!

Superb job, folks! Looks BETTER than new! This owner just let it get out of hand, and whatever your bill was, it had to be worth it to him. If he won't/can't keep ahead of the dirt buildup, he'll be back to you in the future.
Question: When you wash down the engine, do you cover hoses, distributor, or any other items, or do you just work it over as is?
