Wash:

Started out with the wheels first and then rinsed off the trunk. Then loaded up my foam cannon with CG CGW and let the foam dwell. Then I proceeded to clay bar the truck, surpassingly there was not much on the body just on the lower panels

Interior:

I started with the interior first, after the car was dry and masked up with 3M tape. The interior was very easy to work with. Method here was vacuum first and then extract the soiled carpet with the Bissell. I then dressed all the panels with 303 aerospace and warmed up the Leatherique Oil for a few seconds in the microwave. Using gloves, I massaged each seat with the oil and let it sit over the weekend.

Paint Correction:



After the interior was complete I took my paint gauge and went around the entire vehicle measuring how much clear I had to work with. The average readings around were averaging from the lowest of 127 to 200 micrometers. The only thing that caught my attention was the rear panel on the passenger side. There were readings all over the place. I had an average of 205 in some spots and some were up to 900, 500 and 600, obviously that area was repaired. There was also a terrible wet sand job and buffing, I just don’t understand how people can leave a car/truck in that condition and think it looks okay for the owner.



The paint, as you can see, was in dire need of help. The truck was a lease return and my client just acquired the vehicle I could tell the paint was never correct. I knew that I would have to use Powergloss with a wool pad. But in some areas all I needed was SIP with a orange pad and 106ff and a white pad. During a few of my process I experienced the dreaded sticky panel syndrome, this just drove me nuts as my polish would just gum up within five to ten seconds of the lowest speed. This was tricky and required extra time for those panels. I also noticed that the paint was super soft, which can cause headaches for those with “OCD,” even the slightest touch marred the paint. After the panels were corrected, I jeweled the paint with PO85rd on a Blue CCS pad with variable speeds.

After compounding with wool + Powergloss, notice the haziness left behind.

Final Shots, out of all the days that the sun shines here in Arizona today was nothing but overcast, except for this sliver of a beautiful AZ sunset. Thank you all for reading through my write up! Apologize for any grammatical errors, it’s late and I’m beat

I love the body of the LR3, great job! What size were those wheels? Also what year is that, the fenders on those are usually black plastic, or did they have them painted? Looks much better!

I think it had a build date of 8/05, but I think the owner said the PO painted the fender plastics. It looks a lot better being painted, imo. Thanks again!
