2006 Range Rover Sport - 2 day correction detail
I did this one a while back, but someone brought it up to my memory this week so I thought I'd share it here. This was also when I had enough time to do more extensive writeups like this lol.
This owner had bought it recently and wanted to get it looking better than new. I was happy to help. Upon inspection of the car, I noticed that the previous owner did not care for it at all. Extreme baked on brake dust, extreme contaminants on the surface of the paint, and severe swirls all over it. There was also some paintwork evident on the left passenger door, horrible holograms, sanding marks, and pigtails left in the clear. Thankfully this whole thing cleaned up very nicely. To finish this one off was Swissvax Concorso, applied by bare hand. This wax gives an incredible luster and depth to the paint, warmth of color, and great durability for a wax. Ok enough jibber jabber, onto the pics!
Total time for completion: 23 hours
When I arrived, here is what I started with
Swirls...
more swirls
yes, still more swirls.....
nasty exhaust tips
You can see how dry and dull the paint looks
The wheels.... this took a while...
After about 2 1/2 hours on the wheels and wheel wells, it was time to wash it. Onto the pre-washing soak...
Here is the Meguiar's mild claybar... This is how heavy the contamination was on this car. It started out pure white. Yet, this is NOT after doing the whole car! This pic was taken after only doing the top edge of the rear panel (about a 4"x20" section)!!! After this I knew I needed the heavy artillery. So out came the Meguiar's aggressive red clay.
After claying, it was time for the next wash. Now you can see the true condition of the paint and swirls without dirt and contaminents interfering.
Pictures before the buffing process, under the halogens.
