Posted by murmini Mon, 10 Jul 2006 14:38:00 GMT

Over the years, much heated discussion has been exchanged on the various mini boards regarding the ‘best’ car polish. I have no intention of contributing to yet more conjecture, but I can at least report my own experience with the Zaino products.

Love this MINI commercial Its available on Google Video. Its also encouraging to see that the new advertising agency, Butler, Shine, Stern, & Partners, that MINI has been using since December of 2005, has been taking a 'green' view of things as evident in this new sponsorship at the Nature Conservancy.
