Compounded, sealed, and waxed the MINI Cooper S the other day. The exterior was not in perfect condition when I picked her up last winter, I tried my best to bring her back to life without repainting the front end and refinishing the wheels. Snapped some pictures after the detailing session. Picked up deafening scraping sound when driving to and back from the gas station. I thought it was either the brake worn out or bad front axle, turned out to be a stone got stuck between the brake rotor and dust shield...

My neighbor literally came out to see what the hell is going on when I was parking... That was so embarrassing![]()
I took apart my DSC system plugs, ECU and company by removing all the connections and putting them back on. INPA was saying I needed a new DSC pressure sensor which is like $180. Thought I'd check if I had any rusty connections. Then after a ten hour drive, I never had the brake and DSC light come back on!![]()
