EAS: Range Rover Sport W/Write up

[mx5]

Do people take the time to polish and wax wheel wells?

[Brad B]

I clean my wheel wells with EF Hi Intesity every time I wash the car. I coat the wells with Vinylex (or similar) every time I have the wheels off or at least 4-6 times a year.

[Greek Guy]

I also use EF High Intensity to clean the wheel wells everytime I wash my car. But I use the cheap stuff Armor All to coat them.

[JasonC8301]

I recently purchased some spray on foam tire/rubber dressing. I do not dare to use it on tires and intended it to be used on wheel wells. I am just to scared to try.



I may over come this and do it tonight. I hope

I thought I was wierd or something doing that. Considering how fast they get dirty.

[Footy]

I clean the wheel wells at each wash and dress the plastic each time I do my wheels & tires (usually every two weeks or so). I used to dress with Eagle One, but have now settled on 3M tire and vinyl dressing, which I also use on my tires. I save my precious flown-in-from-the-US 303 for the interior and exterior vinyl...

We did not dress any exterior plastic due to delivering it in the rain.

Total Time Approx. 6 hrs

Thanks for looking.

[Old Pirate]

Great recovery Paul on the Range Rover, was it the dealer who wanted it done or the folks about to turn it in from the lease? Hope you charge accordingly for that mess. Great work !

[imported_Flash Gordon]

What is this, who can post the dirtest car day or what :cursing:

Man that thing looked like my brother-n-laws duck huntin truck. Nice revival on that one :notworthy:

6 Hours total time....Is that 1 man? Man I`m slow :banghead:

[imported_Luster]

Hey Paul... Nice Work! That interior was a mud pit!!! Paint wasn`t too great either.:banghead: Leased cars are usually like that!

Excellent job and nice turnaround!:cornut:

[EastsideAutoSpa]

Thanks, That was for the people turning it in. Probably charge less than I should, although they wanted to keep the price down so we diddnt get real crazy with it.


2 man most of the time, we had some other suff in the shop too so we were boouncing around a little.

[imported_Indy YZF]

Damn, why spend all that money for a vehicle and trash it??? I`d be ashamed to let anyone ride in the thing.

Your work is great, the Rover turned out amazing.

[Leadfootluke]

Well done! I love the turnaround.

I bet the dealership appreciated it. Although, if it sits on the lot before finding a new owner, it may get the DISO before it leaves :(

[imported_Woodie]

Nice turnaround, and in good time too.

This picture has been burned into my retinas and will probably cause insomnia for me tonight.

Nice job! Care to share what product you used to dye the mats? Are they rubber, fabric, what?
