WOW. That is superlative work. Thanks for taking the time to post details.

May I ask - how do you go about correcting the area underneath the door handles? I always struggle with doing them to my satisfaction. Thanks!


Enjoy the rest of the weekend, all.

PLEASE copy-and-paste that same PM that you sent to TTBear about correcting the scratches under this Range Rover`s door handle to me as well.

In the correction process, are mixing Megs new M110 and the older formulation M105 together on the pad as you correct?
I`ve done this mixing of Meg`s consumer line Ultimate Compound and an early version of M105 to mitigate the much-maligned dusting associated with M105 (Yes, I know about the water spritzing of the pad and NOT to overwork it while correcting. "Dislike" doing both)

This Range Rover looks gorgeous. Thanks for the "Flower bed/landscaping in the doors" side view "Merlin pic". A new signature-pic style?
(I think Mike lambert did this very "style" in his photos of his detailed vehicles in Maryland. In fact his pics of deciduous trees growing near his home reflecting in the hoods of those vehicle I tabbed as "Maryland Merlin" pics in tribute/reference to your signature pics.)
