2008 Land Rover Freelander LR2, 40k miles.
I also foamed them down with some Deep Crystal Car Wash in my foam gun.
I would have loved to use my pressure washer, but it was too early in the morning to do that.
I am glad I ending up bringing it though as I had to do a wash after the polishing stage.
I foamed the truck down with several oz of Super Soap , and several oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, then filled the rest up with water and gave it a good shake, then set it on the second highest setting.
I also put a couple oz of solution in my rinse bucket, a grit guard was placed in the bucket as well.
My choice of wash media was a Meguiars white wash mitt.
I rinsed the truck off, pulled it in the shop, and then dried it with some Water Magnets.
I clayed the paint with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
There was a lot of fine marring on the hood, trunk, and side panels.
I ended up going over the whole truck with Ultimate Compound and my PC with W8207 pads. Smaller areas I did with my 5.5" LC white pads, and even smaller areas were dealt with by hand. When using my 5.5" white pads I switch to my old W67DA plate.
I then did a complete pressure wash of the exterior of the truck, and foamed it down with two oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and lightly agitated the paint.
I did a pressure wash rinse, then sheeted the water off and dried with Water Magnets.
I then applied some #20 - Polymer Sealant with my G110 and a W9207 pad. Some areas were sealed by hand.
I dressed the tires and wells with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1. The rims were wiped down with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
All trim was dressed with Ultimate Protectant.
The chrome is peeling off the wheels, looks pretty bad actually.
Paint looks much more clear and black and the hazing is gone, not 100% but much better.
The interior was not in too bad of shape, so no before shots.
I did a dry brush and vac on the carpet.
All hard surfaces and leather were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, cotton towels, and various brushes.
All creviced and vents were brushed out.
Leather and vinyl was dressed with Gold Class Leather Cleaner & Conditioner and Quik Interior Detailer.
All glass was wiped clean and streak free with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
Door jambs were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner.
The rubber mats were treated with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.
One step exterior, and full interior.
I did the engine as well but did not get any shots of that.
I started by cleaning the wheels, tires, and wells with Super Degreaser, All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Brightener, and various brushes.
