The owner of this car had to have it done by the end of the month as it was getting shipped out b/c he had sold it..I believe sight unseen although I'm not sure. I had to squeeze it into the week before my surgery so he brought it on a Sunday night and I worked on it a bit every night and delivered it on Thursday night after 13.5 hours. Anyway, the LR arrived just as I was delivering the BMW so I got started on it right away to be able to work on it during daylight hours. Therefore there are no BEFORE pics, only afters. When I downloaded them, I took note of the year of it just as I did for the BMW and an Infiniti that I did after this one. Unfortunately, I can't get up the stairs to the 3rd floor where my other computer is to check the years, so they will be missing from the description of all three vehicles. It might be an '05 but I can't remember for sure so I'm not saying. I don't like being disorganized.:shakehead: The Process: Wheels/Tires/Wells: Tires cleaned with Kleenol Wells cleaned with Kleenol Wheels cleaned with Carbrite acid then neutralized with Kleenol Wheels subsequently polished with DG 501 Wheels then sealed with DG 105 Tires dressed with DP gel Wells dressed with Adams Undercarriage Wash/Clay: Foamed with DG soap and Zep Citrus Washed 2 bm with DG soap and grout sponge Clayed with CM blue Head/Tail lights: Compounded with 3" 3m orange pad and UCCL Polished with 4" blue pad with DG plastic polish Sealed with DG 105 Glass: Steam cleaned with 2 mf method Sealed with DG 105 by hand Paint: Compounded with orange pad with SIP or PG as needed to remove scratches Polished with blue pad with Micro polish Cleansed with DG 501 with blue pad with UDM Sealed with DG 105 via UDM and gold pad *NB: all compounding and polishing done with Dynabrade rotary Trim: Dressed with Black Wow...gonna be looking to trade it..P.M. me if interested Interior: Rubber floor mats foamed initially then treated with Crappy Tire shine Carpets vigorously vacuumed (sorry..I liked the alliteration of that) Carpets stain treated with Folex Carpets steam cleaned Leather interior steam cleaned Leather treated with DG leather cream Plastic treated with 303 AFTERS:
Looks really good, that DP tire gel looks pretty wet. Does it dry well enough or is it greasy? A little splotchy on the inner door panel or might be the lighting.
Very well done, Richy! I like that look you get on tires from DP tire gel. And it's pretty durable too. That Black WOW lasts around a month or so on trim, with trim pre-cleaning with APC.
I gotta get a better camera...that shot looks awful as does the seat backs on another one..but trust me..they were perfect! I apply the DP gel on hte 1st night of a 2 day detail so they dry up nice without being greasy but retain their wet look..I'm a big fan of that stuff. Wait till you see the Infiniti QX when I post it: I put the tire gel on hte trim and it looks amazing! Actually, I did that on the driver's side of the LR2 because the BW was such a pain in the ass to work with! I didn't use that much and switched to DP tire gel after less than 1/2 the car. Thanks..I do like the stuff! I neglected to say it in my writeup, but while doing the wheels, I sprayed teh trim wiht Zep Citrus and agitated with a brush; so I got 'er nice and clean! Thanks Denzil! Thank you sir! No kidding..that and cordite! Thanks Buddy!
