This Range Rover Evoque was booked in as a present for the owner.
He loves the car and enjoys taking care of it, but it had been let down by swirls and bits here and there.
The idea was to enhance the finish and protect it with a ceramic coating to allow the owner to maintain it with ease.

The order of the detail.

Wheels, tyres and arches cleaned.
Full safe wash process.
Decontamination - tar removal, iron fallout removal, clay bar and IPA wipe down.
Enhancement Detail - single stage machine polish.
Gtechniq EXO V4 coating applied.
Wheel fces ceramic coated.
Interior cleaned and protected.
Windscreen coated.

Onto the car.

I guess the old stickies weren't removed each time the plates were changed?

I had one as hire car, enjoyed it and hopefully someday will be able to own one, I like the Blue Landmark Edition that isn't available on the others. Will be a few years yet but im going to try and find a Dynamic/Dynamic Lux or Autobiography with the Active Cruise Control (should be fun as its a rare option), Either this red or Carpathian Grey are my favourites with the latter being the ideal one. Few concerns as they don't seem to have a great reputation for reliability but have sold like mad :confused: And then do i go diesel with potential DPF problems or Petrol and face the shocking fuel consumption.

beaten to it, This is my trouble, PCP would be the safe option as if it would be under warranty rather than a several year old one but at over £500 pm for the Dynamic or even more for the Autobiography its a cost i cannot justify on my wage as a house needs to be the next purchase before any cars.

Maybe the new one will have an effect on PCP and used values. New one is said to be coming with a hybrid but i dont know if with a petrol or diesel or both

believe new one is being revealed on the 22nd Nov
