Winter Prep for the Bimmer and Range Rover

[whitejavaS500]

Well, snow is near, and snow means salt, and salt means a need for protection. So this year I went with EX-P topped with my own creation, "Natty`s Sky" (50% Natty`s White & Natty`s 50% Blue)on the Bimmer and Werkstatt`s topped with P21s on the Range. Looked great, and should be plenty of protection at least through Feb.



First up, The Rover.



Got this truck in July, did a full polishing then with the PC, so decent shape.



Just hit it with OP On a green EDGE 2000 light cut pad @ 1600 RPMS

Then spritzed with QD and finished down with a blue EDGE 2000 Finishing pad at 1500 RPMS

Next AJ on PC with an LC blue on 3 x2

Topped with a layer of P21S

Next up is the 330



I LOVE this car. Rides a little hard, but handles better than most cars out there. Bought this in July too, and have only done a Clay-Glaze-Wax since then. Now it was time to tackle the Dealer installed swirls.

Nice job on both! :)



What is Natty`s SKY? Any reason in particular for using different LSPs on each?

[whitejavaS500]

Scott-



Nattys Sky is a litte creation I made up when I had about half a each tin of nattys blue and white together. Melted them together, and it has the easy application of white, with the depth of blue.

Natty`s sky i like that one. 50/50 i most likely would have done the same thing if i were in your shoes



Looks good from what you can see



Did it come out they way you expected?

The Range Rover- Yes, came out better than I`d think.



The Bimmer- WOW this is hard paint to work with. :grrr Not only hard, but marrs so easily! I ended up with about 5-6 marrs from my mf`s. Came out nice though.
