Just bought my first (Modern) mini after retiring from the classic car beige club!

I have an 07 Cooper S Convertible and want to know if/how the hood can be maintained/cleaned etc

Welcome to the club, loads of different cleaners/conditioners available. I have personally tried turtle wax which was OK, mequires which was not very good, i now wash with soapy water and seal with fabsil (brush on tent waterproofer) available from Halfords. Occasionally spray the mechanical bits with GT85 again from halfords (bike section)
