Mini Cooper Detailing in Rhode Island

Case Study: Full Interior & Exterior Detail on Mini Cooper – Rhode Island

Overview

Luxury Car Detailing completed a full interior and exterior detail on this green Mini Cooper in Rhode Island. The vehicle had signs of daily use, including light road grime, interior dust, and minor buildup in tight areas. This mobile car detailing job was performed at the client’s home, providing professional-level care without the need to visit a shop.

Vehicle Condition

• Exterior had road film and environmental contaminants dulling the paint’s finish.
• Wheels and tires showed brake dust buildup typical of daily commuting.
• Interior carpets had embedded dirt and debris from regular use.
• Dash and door panels needed a deep cleaning to remove dust and light oils.

Exterior Detailing Process

1. Pre-Wash and Hand Wash

• Foam cannon pre-soak to loosen dirt and avoid scratching during contact wash.
• Two-bucket hand wash with a pH-balanced shampoo to clean without harming wax or sealant.

2. Decontamination and Protection

• Clay bar treatment to remove bonded contaminants and prep paint for protection.
• Applied a high-quality wax to add gloss and create a protective layer against Rhode Island’s elements.
• Cleaned and dressed all tires and trim to restore a factory-like satin finish.

Interior Detailing Process

1. Deep Vacuuming

• Complete vacuum of carpets, mats, and under-seat areas.
• Used compressed air for cracks, vents, and tight seams.

2. Interior Surface Care

• Cleaned all plastics, dash panels, and door trim with an interior-safe cleaner.
• Treated surfaces with UV protectant to reduce fading over time.

3. Final Touches

• Cleaned interior and exterior glass to a streak-free finish.
• Light deodorizing treatment for a clean, neutral interior scent.

Results

After the detail, the Mini Cooper’s green paint had a deep gloss and reflective finish. The wax layer will provide protection against UV rays and make future washes easier. Inside, the cabin was refreshed and restored to a factory-clean look with all surfaces dry, smooth, and residue-free.

Why a Full Detail Matters

• Preserves paint and interior surfaces against daily wear and Rhode Island weather.
