How to wash a mini convertible - MINI Cooper Forum
2019年9月4日 · Hi MiniMe23, If you care about keeping it in tip top shape, see videos from Meguiar's UK and/or Ammo NYC about the two-bucket method, how to wash and wipe the car from top to bottom (particularly in your case with a convertible), as well as third-party products that will really make it shine (claying/compounding/polishing and waxing it once every so often).
Antenna/Car Wash? - MINI Cooper Forum
2024年4月21日 · I've owned several McLarens (and other exotics) and never used a touchless car wash for any of them other than the Audi R8. The reason is that the venting to the engine provided too much exposure for direct spray of water or suds. But the 750S engine is really pretty protected. Take a look at your cars. What do you think?
Mini in a drive-thru car wash??? - MINI Cooper Forum
2002年4月9日 · Arrrgh!!! Don't you love your mini enough? Apart from the possible scratches in the paintwork, I think the front and rear wipers, as the are not concealed will be prone to damage. If you don't want to clean it yourself go to a hand wash car wash, they're so much better, and they dry it off too. Not too expensive either.
Drive-through carwash? - MINI Cooper Forum
2008年7月27日 · I spray my wheels with Astonish wheel cleaner and agitate lightly with a brush between the spokes and inside the rims just before using my local pressure wash and they come up like new.

S Spoiler in a car wash | MINI Cooper Forum
2003年7月5日 · As said here, they don't really wash the car well but if you don't have time (parents, you know who you are) sometimes they're better than driving a dirty car around. Today, before a big MINI event, I wanted to get the car cleaned quickly (did a hand wash Friday night but it rained yesterday while I was driving some my MINI's rear was all dirty).
Meguiar's NXT Car Wash or Gold Class - MINI Cooper Forum
2009年2月1日 · Find that nxt and gold class are very similar but that gold class gives a gentler wash. More wax friendly. Gold class is geared towards older cars, nxt is for modern paintwork. Supposedly! If you need a good ole wash for a very dirty car use nxt. If you've an older classic car or your just giving a light wash use Gold Class.
What car wash shampoo? - MINI Cooper Forum
2004年10月18日 · Both the wash and the wax. I find the wash is just so silky smooth compared to the Meguiars Gold Class, and the wax is excellent, leaving a deep shine I have only really used the Meguiars stuff, and only ever waxed/ polished the MINI (previous cars suffered badly ) I think the MINI branded stuff is Zymol, although I could be wrong.

Water Leak - Drivers footwell - MINI Cooper Forum
2011年9月23日 · Mini convertible leak We have a low miles, well cared for 08 plate Cooper convertible, completely leak free until a month ago - then without warning the passenger footwell was wet. All very curious, wash the car, no water - but drive off and it appeared from below the door panel, over the plastic trim and into the footwell.
