Default G.K vs Range Rover

The was booked in for full detail with paint correction and was done over 2 days. Not many during photo's as very windy and cold and just wanted to get the job done.

Vehicle on arrival:








Wash:

- Pre-wash with Citrus degreaser and then foamed with AG Powermax 3
- Arches cleaned with Meguiars APC and assortment of brushes and wash mitt.
- Wheels cleaned AS Smart Wheels/Megs Wheel Brightner/AS Tardis
- Washed with Meguiars Shampoo Plus & Zymol sponge.

Engine bay cleaned with Megs Super degreaser and then protected with 303



AS Tardis doing its job


Paintwork and glass was then clayed with Sonus Grey after intitially trying Sonus Green


This is how the whole vehicle was covered also with alot of RDS where it is taken off road for shooting


After trying several combo's went with 3m FCP and a megs polishing pad which knocked out the deeper scratches. This was then followed up with 3M Ultrafina and 3M blue pad


SV cleaner fluid was then used and a coat of DoDo Super Natural was applied with a final wipe down with DP Final Gloss Booster












































thanks for looking

depends on how much clear coat is there!! 120 microns is a good level of paint but its knoiwng how much of that 120 microns is actually clear coat

I have been told that anything under 8 microns of clear and you risk clear coat failure..

Very nice work Jayplay! I'm going to ask a couple of dumb questions, what is 3M "FCP" and what exactly are RIDS? Car looks incredible.
