Ben’s Mini JCW completed
Quite a story to this one.
Ben used to own this and used it almost exclusively as a track car before selling it on to his friend to continue its track usage. Ben then bought it back after his friend didn’t get much use out of it and subsequently sat untouched outside for an extended period of time.
Extensive prewash, contact wash and a HUGE amount of metal fallout to be removed. 2.5 litre of fallout remover being used (almost exclusively coking from its track use and LOTS of heavy braking) then clayed
Dual machine polishing stages
New wing mirror caps fitted (old ones had lacquer peel)
Titan Coatings PX10, Vulcan and Ultra V4 for paintwork and all exposed plastic trim pieces, wiper arms, interior of petrol cap & number-plates (roof excluded as this is wrapped and had delaminated from sitting outside in the sun)
All glass Titan Hyperglass
Quite a turnaround and back to looking its best
