2013 Range Rover Sport

**Sizzle Chest** · 03-12-2017, 06:50 PM

I had a client that scheduled a paint correction, sealant, interior, and wanted to have the wheels pasti-dipped on their 2013 Range Rover Sport.

2013 Range Rover Sport. Orkney Grey. 43xxx miles.
This SUV had some crazy defects on the hood. Some strange hazing and other defects. The rest of the SUV had heavy surface contaminants and some minor swirling, scuffs and some scratches.

Process:
2BW with Sonax shampoo, clayed via Griots medium pad, the hood received 3 steps of polishing-M105/M205/D151 in order to clear it up with MF pads, heavy foam, and finishing foam pads. The rest of the vehicle received a one step/AIO with D151 and a Megs burgundy medium-heavy foam pad. Rupes 21 MkII was my polisher of choice. Mics MF towels were used. Griots PFM drying towel was used to dry it as it continues to amaze me.
Wheels/tires were cleaned with Adam`s tire and rubber cleaner and Adam`s wheel cleaner. Glass was cleaned with Adam`s glass cleaner. 1Z APC was used were necessary. Interior was cleaned with McKee`s Fast Interior Detailer. Vacuumed via Metro. Tire dressing was SCG Pro. LSP on top of D151 was Megs 365. Wheels were plasti-dipped with flat black dip. Engine was cleaned with 1Z APC and then dressed with Blackfire tire/trim.

Hope I`m not missing anything, if so, please ask!

Onto the pics!!!

Kinda coated the wheels

Very impressive results on the vehicle. What is the durability/longevity of the plastic-dip on wheels?

Scott, I see your post count compared to mine and "quality over quantity" comes to mind.

Thank you! It is surprisingly durable. I dipped some wheels on one of my vehicles and have over 2 years and going strong on it. It`s pretty neat!

Appreciate that...although I will say you contribute to the forum just like I do!

Thanks again!

IMHO

They make the best looking suv.

Great result. The dip updates the look...excellent result on the dip. As for the dip lasting, I dipped the wheels on my CTS when new about four years ago and they still look like I just did them - even after having the OEM tires replaced last summer @ 34k. The key is prep (like anything else that`s getting a "coating") and at least 4-5 layers.
