Yes, that's the price tag for a Range Rover Vogue in Brazil!!! From iPhones to cars, everything is more expensive here. Well, there is noting I can do, so let's move to detailing.

This Range Rover has been "detailed" by a very famous company in town and they did a bad job on this car. Examining it under sun light, it is possible to see every kind of defect. What caught my attention were the swirls on the hood.

INTERIOR
When I first saw this car, I thought that the interior was already clean...until I did a test spot. Doors were cleaner with a soft brush and 1:6 SONAX APC dilution.

Seats were brushed initially, using the same product for the doors but it was not enough. Using a melaminic sponge and water, I was able to remove a lot of dirt.

ATTENTION: When using melaminic sponge, do not apply pressure or scrub too hard, this may remove ink from the seats.

WHEELS

Used Malco Brake Off to clean the wheels. Love how it breaks break dust. Used a Daytona brush to help cleaning.

CORRECTION
As mentioned before, I used my Rupes polisher and yellow pad with SONAX PF. After reading a few discussions about PF filler properties, decided to put it to the test. Did my test spot and after polishing, degreased with IPA followed by Degreaser Solution (used in bodyshops to clean panels prior to painting) followed by another shot of IPA just to be sure every oil/filler has been removed.

LSP - Glare UK

I don't use GLARE UK too often but I like the 'drama' it gives to the paint, makes it look wet...so I took it off the shelf and applied to the car.

Amazing work and I love your attention to details.
 
Nice work! I like the fact that you not only cleaned the key fob, but took a picture and posted it! That's what I call detailing! Beautiful pictures as well. May I ask what camera was used?
 
Outstanding Job! Up there with the best on the market.
 
Nice work, for sure. I love that color and it looks a million times better when it's all polished out. Great job!
 
Nice work fixing the other guy's seemingly haphazard detailing hack-job!!

You brought this Range Rover back to its standard of luxuriousness, with your immaculate attention to its top-of-line: Leather, timber, and alloys.

Thanks a lot guys for your kind comments and feedback. Really appreciate

Nice work! I like the fact that you not only cleaned the key fob, but took a picture and posted it! That's what I call detailing! Beautiful pictures as well. May I ask what camera was used?

spiralout462, that's my old and beaten up Canon Rebel 1000D :props:
 
Outch! What a price tag...I wonder how much it would be without the swirl option?

Great work and nice rescue.
