    The past couple of days has seen me battling against the odds and doing enhancement details on big, black range rovers.
    To say the paint wants to play ball would be an outright lie.
    I haven’t got pics of the vogue I did on Friday but this one I had time for a few quick snap shots.

    Typical process for washing including:

    Meguiars apc
    Valetpro pH neutral snowfoam
    Craftchem wheel cleaner
    Dodo juice born to be mild
    Dodo juice wash n rinse buckets
    EZ detail brush
    Beau technique brush
    Cobra xl miracle dryer towel
    Autosmart tango


    Clayed using yellow poly clay and home brew lube.
    Polishing process after 2 hours of pad and polish combos
    Settled at lambswool and menzerna power finish followed up by dodo juice lime prime on a 3M polishing pad.
    In she went and here we go ( only a couple of panel shots due to time :nilly )

    Slight scratchy bit immenant still but quite reasonable flake.

    All trim was done with poorboys world trim restorer, tyres/arches with craftchem rubber and vynil dressing.
    Glass cleaned with valetex glass polish.
    Wheels sealed with poorboys world wheel sealant.
    LSP collinite 476s.

    Obviously the finish isnt perfect but for an enhancement I feel it is quite way sufficent.

    It was only ehancement rather than full correction but the car certainly looked a million times better than it did before.
    Unfortunate that it was slowly becoming dusk when the after pics were taken as the paint looked real wet after the polishing and LSP.

    The standard is a lot more intense and stunning stateside I must say.

    Certainly was a whole lot of paint.
    I wished I got pictures of the range rover vogue I did before this one, now that had a whole lot of paint :thud:
