New game mini

Does anyone else's bonnet react Badly to waxes and polishes? Is this a mini thing?

    Might take you up on that offer! Would love to get it looking as shiny as poss as it's a weird colour that only looks good from certain angles, 'opodo red' I believe.

What should I do to my newly polished aluminum wheels to keep them from corroding? Clear coat them?

    not an expert on this by any means - but I would think it would probably be a good idea to just keep them well polished and protected - laquer would probably not adhere well on the surface and start peeling off and make the wheel look terrible...

    again - just my thoughts here nothing scientific! :)

    keep them clean and use a good sealant or wax on them, it'll do the trick.

    Yep, get a GOOD rim wax on them before fitting. Get as many coats on as possible. Karate kid style, wax on - wax off!

    Better than getting your hands dirty, full of diesel, and always cold for peanuts!

    I don't want to end up full time in retail, I just picked up a retail job before Christmas and this is the issue I had when getting the job! As mentioned above, how do they prove you don't have experience? Hehe

I've just bought a great wee mini, It's got 4 extra headlights on the front but I'm a complete novice and not sure how to hook them up. I've got the kit but I can't see where to hook them into. It's a 1989 mayfair.

    Thinking about it, it may give me an excuse to wake up my MK1 - every cloud has a silver lining.
