2018 Range Rover Evoque....

**psnt1ol** · 12-06-2020, 03:47 AM

Client's wife has a lease 2018 Range Rover Evoque that is due to end. Client's wife loves the car and he decided to keep it. This is where I came in...

A multi-stage correction and coating was not in the budget. The client just wanted me to do the best I could with no lofty expectations.

The exterior maintenance since lease started consisted of the local car wash variety. The vehicle had all the trademarks of a lease vehicle.

Caked on dirt and grime as well as bird poop...

Paint Transfer and scuff marks...

Baked in break dust...

Rock hard splatters from a construction zone and swirls everywhere...

Scratches like this in many panels...

All in all... I think it turned out well. Here is the result.

Decon: 3D Super Pre-Soak, Power Clean, Purple Power Heavy Duty Boat and Car Wash, Iron X, Carpro Trix, P&S Breakbuster, Clay Mitt & Towel
Tools: Flex 3401, Griot's Garage G8, 3M 3 Inch Sanding Discs
Liquid: 3D Speed
Pads: 6.5 inch and 3 inch Lake Country Force Hybrid Orange Cutting Pads
LSP: 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

Magnificent results. How did you remove those deep scratches?

There were 17 scratches in total (varying in severities). I wet sanded them by hand. Once I worked it down to 3000 grit, I used 3D Speed to remove the sanding marks. 3D Speed has correction capabilities and it worked out pretty well on this paint system.

I managed to flattened out the really deep scratches that was filled with touched up paint so that you cant see them head on. At certain angles from the bottom looking up...you can still see traces of them.

Thanks!!! Sizzle. I meant to do a quick paint enhancement but with the holidays around the corner as well as him being a good client for years... I did a lot of extras.
