Black Range Rover Supercharged in for a mini restoration detail. Previous owner really neglected the car and the new owner wanted it back to new inside and out.
Some shots outside before I got to wash the car

Began with wheels and tires, I raised the suspension setting to its highest and got started on the wheel wells.

Car was foamed with a mild degreaser and washed with citrus soap before being pulled inside.
After claying part of the hood

I re-dried the car and gave it 3 alcohol wipedowns before starting correction... after washing off some prior glaze I had to make sure everything was clean and stripped. Underneath the finish was worse than I initially though.
Measured the finish with the PTG and saw very consistent readings.
I assessed about 10 single or cluster scratches that would need wetsanding, first of which was on the passenger door.
Onto correction...

The "J" hook scratch and surrounding area was sanded with 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit
http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC07422.jpg
After correcting, 95% of the J hook was removed, the last part of the tail seen just above the door handle still remained.

Some 50/50s... Correction included 3-4 passes with a wool pad, followed by foam compounding than polishing... finishing was done later
