Range Rover Vogue

[Shine On]

This beastie belongs to the wife of the blue Lotus Exige owner I did last week. It seems this lady has to wash both cars, so its only fair her Rangey got done too!

I was hoping I would get away without any rain that day, but unfortunately I got caught with some quite persistant showers in the afternoon. I'm glad I had the awning with me although putting it up on a fairly steep driveway was a laugh!

Kept pretty clean, this is what I had at the start:

Foamed, then washed with TBM (it took ages!), clayed with Sonus Green before finally rinsing and drying. Taped up as usual.

This was pretty typical of the marks all over:

I was expecting this paint to be really hard, but all it took was Menz PO85RD Final Finish on a Megs polishing pad with the rotary to achieve this:

The rain came, the photo's got forgotten. I was getting tired by this point and just wanted to get finished!

The finished article, covered in Collinite 476s. I don't think the pics do it justice, it looked really wet and reflective.

super job chap:thumb:

Looks sexy as hell dude. Doing a car like that in one day is good going mate. Did you do the roof too?

[Shine On]

I did, and it hurt! I knew they were big, but just didn't realise how big. Just the bonnet was like a roof on a medium sized hatch back.

Just shy of 13 hours start to finish.

[paddy328]

You did well in that time dude. I guess being able to use just one hit with menz 85 helped. Did you have to bust out the step ladder?

[Shine On]

Hell yeah. Go go gadget legs were in the workshop ;)

[wfenix]

great work reg i think the time taken would have been double if the paint was harder but great finish on the beast, superb.

I love those, looks very good as well. Is that your gazebo? If it is, how much was it and what are the dimensions?

[Mark M]

That is crazy how you managed to correct a range in a day!

[mouthyman]

It is mine, it is 3mx6m and cost £700.

V12 - It was hard work getting it done, just got back from a couple of days away detailing (pics to follow another day!), did a Discovery 3 inside and out yesterday in 14 hours. Had to get it done in the day because I had the husbands car to do today.
