This is a friend of mines car, he takes pretty good care of it and apparently Mini's have super hard paint bc this thing goes to hand car washes and hardly had ANY swirls in it! However it DID have a ton of fall out and other contaminants! I did a 1x3ft section on the roof with the clay and it turned completely black! Well anyways on to the pictures! Sadly, I finished later at night due to rain complications. So I will have full sun pictures uploaded tomorrow! Thanks for looking!
