Dark Blue Range Rover

This SUV belongs to one of my good customers mother. It is a couple years old and was in need of a good detail. It had normal light to medium scratches from automated carwashes and from snowbrushes dragged along the paint over the past couple years. Last month, she scraped the drivers side rear quarter panel over the rear wheel well on a wooden deck which transferred paint onto the panel and made a slight dent which I had removed by my local ding man. I was able to wetsand & compound the scratch left behind with 3M microfinishing compound which removed 90% of it.



I have to say, the paint was very nice to work with. There is a lot of paint on this SUV and I thought It was going to take much longer than it did.



My process:



Wash complete exterior



Clean wheels, tires & engine compartment



Clayed with Opti-Clay



Wetsanded & compounded rear quarter panel damage



Buffed complete exterior with IP



Buffed complete exterior with OP



Hand application of Collinite Insulator wax



Topped with Natty's Blue



Dressed tires with Super Blue dressing

Awesome work on a stunning SUV - I love the look of that Super Blue Tire Dressing...Is there a website where this can be purchased. I always look forward to your posts...you work on some *amazing* vehicles.
 
Beautiful results! Those trucks are really nice, must be a pleasure to detail one!



Oh, and I really would like to find some Collinite IW and give it a go on my car. Looks quite nice and I like really durable products too!

Thanks!

I get the Super Blue dressing at a place called Allied Technologies in Melrose, MA, but they only deliver to New England States. It is made by Kar Kraft. I would try to do an online search to see if any vendors in your area carry it. You might get lucky.

What Pads did you use?

I'm not quite sure who actually makes the pads, but I get them from the same place I get the Super Blue dressing. I asked one of the sales reps who makes them, but he wasn't quite sure. They are a ripple foam type of pad and come in yellow (for cutting) and black (for finishing). I have been using these same pads for almost 8 years now and haven't had the need to try anything else because they work unbelievable and last a really long time. If I think of it next time I make an order I will try to find out the manufacturers name and let you know.
 
I'd say that your post are always 9.9 out of 10. :D Lately your pictures are as good as your work so I give you a 10! :D:D:D



Just kidding around. You are an insparation.



How long did it take you?
 
Boy, they sure did a nice job designing that interior, looks incredbile. And great work on your part, I like using the 3M microfinishing compound on deep scratches, definetly does a nice job of removing them.
