While looking around for cleaning tips I found this site:

http://www.autopia-carcare.com/how-to.html

Not sure if anyone has seen this before but I thought it offered a lot of tips.

 

Also, Gabe Bridger hosts www.motoringfile.com and his site has one of the best how to file collections around;

The Autopia site doesn't really reveal too much as far as doing a good detailing job on your Mini. It is one BIG advertisement to push their products. Myself, I use the Mini recommended car care products.  

The MotoringFile How To's are pretty good. However I recommend that if you have not picked up the Bentley Publishers Mini Cooper Service Manual you should. It has a lot of good info.

 Speaking of detailing I would like to set up a detailing class with Griots Garage. How many are interested?

I may be interested, especially in learning how to clean interior glass haze without the streaks (other than using glass polish).

later in May works better for me.  If it is before the 19th, I won't be able to make it.  Also, not on the first weekend in June.

Don't let my schedule get in the way though.

Sign me up!  I use a LOT of Griot's products, and sometimes they give a "meeting discount" - helps me save a big part of the paycheck, but doesn't stop Jo from hollering about how we're going broke saving money!  Hah!  Pat
