Is was washed with Sonax using the awsome sheep skin's glove from Pinnacle and dryed with a WW towel. Plastics, rubber were protected.

Allmost all the painels were polished with the next method:



1x Orange Propel Advanced/Menzerna Intensive Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 4.5)

1x Blue Propel/Einszett Metalic Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 2)



The roof was very bad so I used a stronger method



2x Yellow Propel/Einszett Extra Paint Cleaner @ Porter Cable (speed 5)

1x Green Propel/Einszett Paint Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 4)

1x Blue Propel/Einszett Metalic Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 2)

Wow that is a very sharp looking car. Great job.



I don't understand one thing though.



Is this the same Rover company that the guy from Top Gear always rags on? If it is man. I don't get where all the hate comes from.
 
MMmm very nice indeed, great job on the wheels and wheel well! i like the 3 spoke steering wheel but its somewhat weird taht they still use 4 lugs... i just turned 16 (5/29/90) not too long ago and im going to be applying EX-P on the qx4 and the rest is party party party... hehe

Great work for a firstimer!!. A pitty Rover went down the sink. Some of us liked their cars, not enough of us I suppose.
