Ok here is a Detail I did on an 07 Supercharged Range Rover. I started out by washing with my Foam Gun and DP wash combined with a 2 bucket wash/grit guards and Turtle wax Ice Car wash soap (ok soap, not the best, not the worst). I washed from the top down then undercarriage and engine bay. To try and utilize as much daylight as possible I did the wheels near the end. I then Clayed the veh with a med aggressive clay and Adams detail spray as lube. I taped off all trim prior to polishing. For Polishing I used a Flex Orbital with 6.5" Lake Country Orange and white pads and a UDM using some 4" LCC pads for tighter areas. I used Optimum Compound and Menzerna Powergloss Compound for the most part with the LCC Orange pad and followed that up with Menzerna 106ff Nano Polish on a white pad. The Blue flake could finally be seen again on this beast after polishing :thumbsup: The interior was cleaned with Ultima Interior shampoo and sealed with Ultima Interior guard plus. Exterior was sealed with Ultima Paint Guard Plus Sealant, cured for 14 hours then topped with one coat of Danase Wet Glaze via UDM/Red LC pad speed 2. Let cure approx 1 hour, then buffed off and topped with a second coat of Ultima Paint Guard Plus. Tires and trim protected with Ultima Tire and trim guard plus, undercarriage sprayed with Griots under carriage spray (Great product) Prior to delivery I buffed the entire veh with a plush Microfiber towel to remove any residue remaining. End result... I`ll let you be the Judge.

Ha..ha..! Yes I did! I used Menz SIP w/orange LCC pad. It was a pain getting up on my ladder to polish the roof and the owner will most likely have no appreciation at all for all the work that went in to his veh but for me it`s just a great satisfaction knowing that I did not cut any corners. I`ve heard of alot of people who don`t even wax the roof and that is a real shame.

I use a cleaner polish or a light polish like 106ff via PC on roofs, unless I`m told to treat it the same. If its a sedan then it`ll receive the same treatment. If its a truck, I also treat it like the rest of the paint since I can easily stand on the cab and polish the roof.

Looks good, but how is it trashed?

Swirls or just dirty?
