Hey Everyone,
Is it me or do car dealerships not car what thier vehicles look like when they TRY TO detail them? A new client of mine just bought this black 2007 Range Rover Sport from the onlly Range Rover, Jaguar & Volvo dealership down here. Client also knows the owers of the dealership well. He contact me on Thursday, after 1PM of course, asking me if I could detail the Range Rover he just bought. He just wanted it washed and waxed since he saw the work I did on a black Ford Cobra Convertable. He also told me time and time again that the vehicle was clean. Well, I took several things over to his warehouse where his parents live and work at (I was not sure what I was getting myself into). Well, when I took SOME of my items way out in the middle of no where, it then hit me who the client is. A good client with good money. :D Anyways, once I got there I looked at the Range Rover. MAN. Did the dealership mess it up. They compounded it and it looked like crap. I do not think the person knew what they were doing to it. I also advised him the RR was no where clean for me to detail it, which means I did not have any soap or buckets to wash it. Auto Zone run.
Here are some the items I used on it, since most all of my items are at their warehouse.
OXO Tire Brush
Menzerna Finishing Glaze PO 115C
Auto Magic Red Clay - I know I know
DP Detailing Lube Special
Flex with black pad
Poorboy's Medium Abrasive
Poorboy's Trim Restorer - Needed it BADLY
And a few other items.
I did not take my digi cam with he since he called at the very last minute, so, these pics are after I washed it, except the wheels:
