The EV Puzzle

The EV Puzzle

Essential ownership tasks as soon as you get the car home. Clean it! Even valeted by the dealer and kept indoors the car wasnt pristine and didn't have a really good shine.. Its had a protective product applied by the dealership but that isn't showing fine water beading and doesn't feel slippery to the touch and hence the depth of shine just isn't there.
With a black car cleaning is either a joy or a pain. Get it wrong and it'll look dull, dirty and scratched. Take good care and it'll have the deepest shine and look stunning... Just my opinion
I'm not an expert at cleaning or valeting cars but I do like my car looking good and do a pretty decent job of it I'm not sharing for valeting snobs to poke holes in what I do but to give others ideas. Positive comments only please, although who reads these descriptions anyway. Leave me a comment if you've read this and let me know 🤣

I changed my order from red to grey and finally to black with chrome bits just like you. With the new black outer grill, I think the black color option is the best. On any other color, the front just looks too busy and puts too much focus on the black ring of the grill. This color combo will remain a classic for the '22/'23 model years. Thanks for the video.

I think the light interior and the mirror caps are well worth having, they lift the overall appearance and I agree that you only really notice details when you’re cleaning! 😎 …. The draw back of dark colours is keeping them clean! I’ve recently bought a Toyota RAV4 hybrid in ‘Obsidian Blue’ with black roof and wheels which is a gorgeous deep blue metallic. It really ‘pops’ in the sunlight but keeping it clean does take some effort!

Great color combo- I've spec'ed the Carbon Black Lounge Leather, and I'm sure I'll regret it on hot summer days. Congrats on the Level 3... and your ability to (solar) charge at home is an inspiration. Just one word of caution- I'd used a blower to push the rinse water off of the car before hand drying and found that it worked, but it also blew a lot of debris out from those cracks and crevices. Smooth runnings to you.

Excellent choice! Like yourself I have just upgraded from a level 2 to a level 3 and love it! Word of caution on the Chester grey leather seats..... indigo dye from jeans stains them! Easy to clean off of the leather facing, but not the quilt stitching which is looking a bit scruffy on mine already and I've only had the car 8 weeks....! Mini don't currently offer a bumper protection strip for the electric version, so I'm probably going to put a fake carbon effect vinyl on it. Mine is chilli red and the dirt just sits on that lip and looks grubby! I love the look of a clean black car, but you'll have to put the hours in to keep it shiny! Enjoy.....!

Very interesting to see another piece of your EV puzzle fitting into the picture. The Kona demonstrated that a long range EV is an alternative to an ICE vehicle. The first Mini electric showed that an efficient car with a modest range can meet your driving needs while being fun to drive. The new Mini electric offers fun driving with luxury trim and low running costs.That is a good choice for retirement, for people who travel long distance by plane and train.

Hello Nigel. Have been a while since I commented. You doing almost what my brother did with three cars. Should mention, we have cars for ages before there is a shape change of vehicles here in South Africa. So his first one of the three was black, safety film with a tint and some other things. Second and third vehicle came down the road and my response was even before anyone else noticed, as he had a personalized number plate. Walks in, he gets 100 questions of which 20 are just to confirm that I was right. Small nuances that gave away it's a new car. So for 9 almost 10 years he drove the same engined vehicle and switching each time he got to 90k km on the clock. So get a vehicle that looks so similar that almost no one realizes you have a new car. It just went into the dealer for a repair. And somehow it came out black with the new front end. Would be my excuse.

Ideal for me would be when mini bring out their electric countryman but no news on range so that may only be 100 miles as well.

We seem to be the minority liking black cars and cleaning but they're very satisfying

@@EVPuzzle Only joking of course, it's just that I prefer more vibrant colours rather than 'boring' black white and grey. But I don't know why anybody would buy a brand new top-of-the-range car and take all the badges off, as if they were ashamed of it! 😕 I suppose this would also explain the non-green number plate.

I hate badges and labels. I mean even the dealer stick advertising labels on the reg plates.

I am actually surprised you use all those products and rinse them off into the ground. In the US now the environmental thinking is that you use that stuff at car wash locations that capture the run off .

I guess it depends on the chemical content but I don't usually use so much and don't you aerosols. I'd never let a public car wash near my car

@@EVPuzzle I once had an argument with a German work colleague about washing cars at home. In his view car washing (if it must be done at all) should only occur at a commercial car washes where they have the facilities to capture the residues. I asked him about closing nuclear power plants and burning more lignite (coal) to generate electricity but apparently that is OK.

There's always something of concern. Discussion is good but what next, can't use fairy liquid and let it down the drain? We had to use a flea treatment on cracker a while back and do the house too. Very very toxic stuff with warnings not to let it into the water course!! We all have to do our bit and reduce everything really ... Whatever we can.. Im more of the opinion if its of concern its the government who needs to regulate it.

@@EVPuzzle We have self serve car washes where you drive in and can use whatever you want. You are only paying for time with the pressure washer and can decide to use their soap brush or now.
