marzman Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 So i've had my Range for about 5 weeks or so now, and other than a very quick rinse during the first week i've been dying to get a chance to detail it. The paintwork felt so rough to touch, there were so many contaminant etc, and cleaning it with water/shampoo wouldnt touch it. So... yesterday i did the following: Rinse Wash Clayed Washed Glass Polish Dry T-Cut scratch remover (black)... there were a number of fine scratches, including a key mark the length of the car, but fortunately hadn't gone through the lacquer. Got to say, im quite impressed with this stuff. It's masked all of the scratches that i attempted, including the key mark, which you now cant see unless you're really looking for it. At this point the car was back to the bare paint, and i could really feel the improvement following claying... it was a perfectly smooth finish! Then today i did: Ag Super Resin Polish Dodo Juice Purple Haze Wax AG EGP Then on the wheels: Wash Decontamination with Wolf's De-Ironizer Rinse Seal Tyre Dressing Im very happy with the results... Everything was done by hand, but i would love to get a DA at some point. Few pics (Excuse the filthy zed in the background... that a job for another weekend ) Also note that i had the suspension raised to it's high setting for the first pics, as it made it easier to polish (I dont have to bend down as far!)

marzman Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 EDIT... Couple of small mods planned... im going to get some smoked side indicators, and probably attempt to Plastidip the wheels in black to make it a bit more interesting (chavvy!) I can always peel it off if i dont like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looks mint. How much longer did it take than detailing a zed? Must be at least twice the surface area Fair play to you for doing all that work on such a big car. I find the skyline massive compared to the zed and struggle to motivate myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does take a loooong time. It's not as much fun as detailing the zed, thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
