  • 2006 BLACK Range Rover..swirled to perfection

    These are before and after shots of the black Range Rover I detailed earlier this week. I started with a wash using a 2 bucket method with grit guards, a Gilmour foam using super Soap and Gold Class, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with Meguiar's waffle weave drying micro fibers.

    Then I clayed the vehicle with a Meg's mild blue clay kit and Last Touch at a 1:1 ratio.

    Next I buffed out the swirls with a FLEX on speed 4.5, using Meguiar's M105 on a Lake Country Foamed Wool Pad. ONE PASS is all it took for the swirls, and occasionally 2 for deeper scratches. It left no micro-marring or haze at all.

    I followed this up with a Cross-Cut WHITE polishing pad on speed 5, using Menzerna 106FF.

    Next I went over the car with Meg's body solvent, followed by Mother's Carnuba Cleaner Wax (Sorry, lol, I needed to use it up haha).

    After that I sealed the paint with a coat of Meg's #21 2.0

    I think the pictures tell the rest...

    Pre-wash shot...notice the overall haze on the vehicle:


    Mud and minor water spots from sprinklers:


    Before the paint work, after the wash hood shot:


    Shot of the spidering:


    Minor scratches and more spidering:


    And now for the after shots…ENJOY!
















    And this is actually a shot of the door…100% reflection anyone?

          Amazing work, and you've gotta love it when the owner wants to get some pics. Very nice reflection shots, although they'd probably be better if you hadn't used the Mothers Caranuba first....haha, jk.

                Wow...very nice. Oodles of reflection there...I like that hood (?) shot with the pine tree reflection.
