Detailer's Domain: Range Rover Sport/Crystal Rock

This Range Rover Sport was a vehicle that I dread I just don't like SUV's. Anyway since my extremely good customer had a special request to do this car for his business partner I could not say no to him as much as I tried to avoid this one.

Anyway it was bad as you can see from the pictures. Take a look.

Paint correction was done with Menzerna SIP and Menzerna PO85RD. We finished with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and Swissvax Crystal Rock for a nice deep wet glossy shine.

Below are the tools and products used:

I hope you enjoyed it.

 

Nice work as always Phil.
Ugly wheels.
How come your swissvax paint rubber is yellow and mine is blue?
also, is the wood inside those things real or synthetic?

 

wow that is straight up baller with the grills and rims, i don't mind the rims, it pulls it off well

 

Wow... Nice ride & great job :applause:

 

Nice job, not a big fan of those rims and that grill but the car still looks sharp with Crystal rock on it

 

my clay is yellow cause I took everything Swissvax had left in yellow and kept it for myself : )

Before the whole clay magic mess they still had some stock of the yellow.

I'm not a fan of the wheels either but it does grow on you.

Thanks!

 

Ummm ive got those same rims on my car :fs:

Awesome car, hopefully my next car. Awesome rims! :giggle: And strut grille. He's got some cash into that.

 

yes its real wood in there some like it some don't.

 

I love the wood inside. And as much as i hate infinitys. They have the nicest wood i have seen in a car.

 

wow awesome job Phil!

 

Phil,

Great turnaround as always. :thumb:

 

Nice job Phil! So you hate SUVs do you? I probably do 20 Suvs for every car I do. We live in truck country. Rich people out here get the biggest SUVs they can find.

 

Awesome work, Phil! By the way, how many weeks of durability do you get from a single coat of Black Wow???It doesn't really last on my wife's BMW trim, it's gone after 2-3 washes (Optimum Shampoo)...maybe I'm doing something wrong...

 

Another great job Phil

 

yeah I really don't like Suv's...too big...

black wow is durable are you cleaning the surface with an all purpose before you apply black wow?

 

Great detail Phil! Your rightups are becoming more and more thorough (aka more pics). I love the action shots, keep em coming!

 

thanks! I'm also spending a heck of a lot more time on them...

 

no, not really...Just washed it with a shampoo...maybe I should use APC before applying Black Wow...Thanks for the tip, I thought so...

 

Very nice work Phil! Even though that Strut stuff makes the SUV look cheap...

 

I agree. The factory grill and side vents are way better looking.
