This is my brother's '67 Mini.
This is usually a garage queen (weekend driver) but since his daily driver broke down and has been in someone's house getting fixed (3 months now) he had to take this to work. So it's got dirty real quick driving long distance everyday....
The paint condition is actually pretty well taken care of since this is the only car that would fit in our garage....
Start with a wash with NXT.
Since we got this car, we prob. only waxed it twice and it's been kept clean after each drive with QD. And Look at what the QD did to the paint!!! Water Bubbles!!!
All Rinsed...
Wiped Down...
Found some light swirls...
Got too busy with the DA so didnt take any "in process" pix.
But look at the result!!
Couple steps back....
Girlfriend dropped by to get her car washed... so I put her to work.
Putting on 1st layer of #26. (please excuse for the bad pix)
After I washed her car and finished wiping off the 2nd coat of #26.
She's done!
Reflection!!!
Blue Star!
The wheel cap happen to be right-side up!
Couple Steps back!
Please excuse the messy garage.....
And finally! Here is she tucked in the garage.
Products Used:
Multi-Piece Wheel Cleaner (to be on the safe side)
No-Touch Tire Shine
M80 with DA & W8006 Pad(2 passes)
#7 (By Hand)
#26 (2 coats by Hand)
StoneGuard Invisible Glass
Time: 3 hrs.
This car was fun to work on, except my non-car guys will probably think I'm a NUT to work on a Mini for 3 hrs.
Hope you guys like it.

That was a great write up and some really good pics. The way you made the blue paint pop had depth and it looked wet. Great job.
