    Thanks! I'm never putting anything other than carwash and wax on mine.

    A wise man once told me don't make work for yourself. Enjoyed watching you install and remove vinyl from the mini. Not that I'm lazy but I can watch you work all day. Lol have fun Dave

    Great visual with the paper. I also suggest 50/50 Isopropyl alcohol for vinyl or even OEM badging removal.

    Hi Dave, I've just removed the glue from 31 year old gaffer tape which was left around the windows of my Nova Kit Car when they started leaking. The car's been stored in the garage all that time. The paint job is still surprisingly good so I didn't want to risk using acetone. After trying several 'off the shelf' solutions I ended up using a cheap 'bug & tar removal' spray over and over and over again. It worked, but it took a whole day! Your Mini looks so much better :)

    Watched most of your videos on the Mini as was thinking of getting one. Ended up getting the new Fiat 500e and I’m smitten with it. Get decent range 170miles with I useable battery capacity of 37kw. Also gonna go on a Scottish road trip soon around the north coast John o groats area

    Next time try to get off the remain adhesive with the vinyl (with the adhesive side). Just tap it where the glue was, and it will instantly take off the remains.

      There will be no next time. Lol. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks Hyperion.

    Those ill-fitting decals never looked right in the first place. Stick to proper bonnet stripes! Thanks for the video.

    Another thing I've found is that if the decals have been on for many years the rest of the paint will fade and you will be left with unfaded paint under the decals.

      Very true, so never remove them, lol

    Hi,
    Im sort of new here and was wondering if the community can help me out. I’ve been watching all the Mini Cooper SE videos since I ordered mine in late May. Great job, love the no nonsense approach! I recently took delivery of my 2023 SE, we had one issue, the car was delivered with 206/45R17 High Performance summer tires but they’re not Run Flat tires. We had asked the salesman during the order and he confirmed by writing that the car came equipped with Run Flats. Now the dealer, sales manager and district sales manager is stating that they Neve deliver the Mini Cooper se with Runflats as it reduces the life span of the battery. The want me to sign a discharge releasing them of all responsibility related to the battery life. My question, has anyone taken delivery of a Mini SE equipped with Run Flat tires? How many KM can you achieve on a full charge? Any help would be appreciated. H

      There are a few Mini SE facebook groups, maybe best to ask there?

    I thought you just put those on. It doesn't feel like a year. They say the older you get the faster time goes.

      You're right, hahaha, we've had the car for a year, but only put the decals on a few months ago.

    Let me guess, the mini is going to get vinyl wrapped.
