Mirror Finish : Black Range Rover Sport V8 Diesel.

[MirrorFinish]

Hi all.

This is a recent write up from me in the UK. A fantastic black Range Rover Sport with the upgraded mapped V8 Turbo Diesel Engine. Imaging a Range Rover that can do nearlly 40mpg??.....This can.

Here we have a black Range Rover Sport that I did last week. The car was booked for a one day enhancement detail and Wolf Body Wrap application. No interior, engine cleaning were carried out.

The car was washed in my usual snow foam dry, power wash off and re foam then washed with my new one bucket method rinsing the mitt by hose every panel and using 5 mitts in all. Is a much easier method than the two bucket method and I know my wash media is really clean.

As the panels were really hot and drying really fast I decided to take the car inside and clay each panel prior to polishing.

Car on arrival and wash stage.

Some marring in the paint.

After taking the car inside and claying as it was so hot outside this is the defexts in the paintwork I was looking at.

One hit with the new Meguiars DA polishing system. This was after just the cut polish.

Before.

As you can see the new Megs DA system is pretty fast correction for a DA.

Front wing, before.

After going round the whole car with the Meguiars DA poloshing combo which is quite a fast safe system to work with I was left with this.

All in all a great detail on a super fantastic car. Just goes to prove that with the right polishing even a big old beast like this can be corrected in a day.

Many thanks to the owner for allowing me to carry out the work.

Cheers for reading.
