The car was then given its first coat of snow foam whilst this was dwelling I went round the car using APC in a foaming head bottle cleaning the fuel filler area and various gaps and grills. The snowfoam was then blasted off with the pressure washer, and then the car was given another coat of the same mix snowfoam and the car was washed using the 2 bucket method with grit guards in both buckets and a Carpro lambswool wash mitt.
The car was then rinsed off using an open ended hose and I then went round the car with Tardis which was left to go to work before being wiped down with microfibre clothes. The car was then given a coat of Ironx again left to do its stuff before the car was washed down using the pressure washer.
The car was clayed using citrus bling and water mix (10 to 1) and a Bilt hamber soft clay bar which helped to pull more contaminates from the paint work it was then rewashed using the same method and dried using the woolly mammoth.

I then taped the car up and went round with various yellow 3m pads and Scholl S17+ polish, each panel was given a wipe down with Carpro eraser after polishing to check finish and remove any polishing oils.
I then went round the car a using the DA and Britemax blackmax on a black 3m pad which was buffed using Uber buffing towels.

After
(http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb334/28ibutler/Range%20Rover%20Sport/IMG_7031.jpg)
The car was given 2 coats of the Swissvax Shield wax leaving wax to bond for 30min and approx 60min between each coat again buffed using Uber buffing towels
The plastic trim was dressed using Carpro Dlux which is a cracking product which a little goes a long way and gives a stunning finish.
After this I cleaned the glass and gave them all 2 coats of Autobrite repel
The alloys were sealed using 2 coats of Chemical guys Jetseal 109 and dressed the tyres using the Valet pro tyre dressing.

Awesome work mate, looks great, some amount of swirls before! Such a big vehicle too. There is always that point when you start a range rover when you think, jesus this is huge! Makes the finish feel so much more deserved though! :cool:

stunning finish, one question though, do you find land rover paint especially soft? ive worked for land rover for 9 years ish now and find alot of them come in quite swirled and scratched up. is due to paint or lack of care?

Cracking job well done... :smiley:

Thinks its mainly down to the fact that most owners dont bother with a safe wash process matey lol
