Thread: 07 Mini Cooper S correction

New daily driver for Alex @ Sharkwerks, he picked up the car for a very good price............... which was good because it was baked like a cookie in the Arizona heat.

The beginning, wheels had at least two years of brake dust baked in



Crusty and greased up jambs



Dried out trim



In this pic the wheel is still gross AFTER I cleaned them on the car while in the wash phase



Getting the wheels ready for Luis A LM Cartouch up



One down three to go



Luis and Monica arrive to repair and re-paint the wheels





They also took care of another wheel for me a Champion RS171 for a different client





The Champion wheel repaired



Deep scratches and bird poop etching



A little trizact action.....



Corrected with wool compounding



Marred(understatement) C pillar



50/50 shot



50/50 of A pillar





After compounding and intermediate polishing

Marring that looked like sand scratches but was not



Corrected



Twisted wool pad holograms



This color was hard to capture the true bad condition of the paint in pics, however this 50/50 I feel accomplished this



More nasty scratches....



Corrected, but one deep scratch I was not chasing due to paint depth



As dirty an engine as you will ever see, it had NEVER been cleaned



Built up grease everywhere





After...........







When I was finished(23 hours later) the sun was setting so this was the best pics I could get





In this pic you can see the finished product by Luis and Monica, satin black tightness

I usually hate mini's, but this one is mint. Great job.

Great work Bob!

Very nice job Bob!!!,looks like out of the Mini dealer show room,thanks for include us (L & M)in this project!!!

thanks so much man.... I figured the only reason I would get it is because you would make her right again She's mechanically so sound but just neglected on the outside... Not anymore!

And thanks to luis for getting the wheels done too. Enjoying it... now I just need to get her tuned

Nice one Alex! Can you come by and we can go take it thru the twists on San Felipe!

Awesome job as usual Bob!

White perfected, now needs to be sharkified for more powah, Ayaaaaah!
