Re: Major Paint Restore on 2003 Velvet Red MINI

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the kind words. Yesterday I worked on another MINI, this one is being prepped for sale--a 2002 Astro Black (metallic) and it was filthy when I got it. Of course even a wash was a major improvement, but now that it's all polished, I get to clean the interior of dog hairs. Yuck. Already wiped the slobber off the inside glass. LOL. Pictures coming soon!

Whew! I bet that interior has a smell to it. Hello #23 and lots of it. Might have to pull the seats on this one Richard to make sure all the hair and slobber are removed.

The smell isn't bad fortunately and the seats are leatherette (vinyl), so cleaning was easy with #40 Vinyl & Rubber cleaner/conditioner. Frankly I haven't used #23 yet, but I did buy a bottle of the Dakota Odor Bomb spray from ADS that I'm going to try just for kicks. Combined with the lemon scent from Interior Quik Detailer, I think it will be fine.

The Meguiar's extractor brush combined with a vacuum is very effective at removing the hairs from the black carpeting.
