That looks like a good buy, IMHO. If you had given that to us yesterday we would have done a great job on it... and then cut it in half.

Great pictures There was no way on earth that bonnet would ever be perfect without a respray, but I think we all agree it was a massive improvement on what we started with.

Here are a few of the Range Rover when I was detailing it. This was a farmers vehicle which was a working tool, driven through fields, carried animals and was in a right mess, but with a little TLC it polishes up well

These next three pictures are the o/s rear door, full of really bad scratches and swirls
This was the state of the entire bodywork, no doubt hedgerows and fields had taken their toll on the paint






The first two panels have now been polished, wax has still to be applied






Drivers door now polished




Front o/s wing before


Front o/s wing after


Bonnet edge before


Bonnet edge after


Finished and out in the daylight

Plastic lenses take a lot of abuse, this is the Range Rover high level brake lightwhich looks like it has been through the car wash on more than one occasion.

Before


A hit with the wet & dry and then some G10 before finishing with A Grade


50/50


So with plastic lenses use the same procedures but go easy but omit the G3 and don't use a lot of pressure when rubbing or the plastic will melt

What happened to the beading porn pictures you guys took. I think the next mini-meet will need to be photography lessons





This is what you should be looking at
