50 hour. Range Rover paint correction and detail
Black Range Rover Supercharged in for a mini restoration detail. Previous owner really neglected the car and the new owner wanted it back to new inside and out.
Some shots outside before I got to wash the car

Began with wheels and tires, I raised the suspension setting to its highest and got started on the wheel wells.

Car was foamed with a mild degreaser and washed with citrus soap before being pulled inside.
After claying part of the hood
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0207.jpg)
I re-dried the car and gave it 3 alcohol wipedowns before starting correction... after washing off some prior glaze I had to make sure everything was clean and stripped. Underneath the finish was worse than I initially though.
Measured the finish with the PTG and saw very consistent readings.
I assessed about 10 single or cluster scratches that would need wetsanding, first of which was on the passenger door.
Onto correction...
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC07420.jpg)
The "J" hook scratch and surrounding area was sanded with 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC07422.jpg)
After correcting, 95% of the J hook was removed, the last part of the tail seen just above the door handle still remained.

I usually start with the hood for correction but since it needed some more wetsanding and would get messy with soap and water I left it until later in the process
Took a few extra readings to ensure I could sand safely
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0200.jpg)
Had my paper soaking for about 40minutes, various grits

The plastic hood vent cover needed polishing as well. Some hard water etching could not be removed with hand polishing so I used the DA and a 2 step process to correct it
Before, a bit dull

You'd be suprised what you can pull out of plastic when you "think" its already clean
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0272.jpg)

Hand polished behind the handles, unfortunately anything short of wool compounding wouldnt do much help

Before I went into the final finishing stage I began on the interior first
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0146.jpg)
The owner pointed out the leather didnt feel or smell like leather anymore and I suggested the leatherique treatment.
I have only done this once before and the second time around I tried some new methods to help the process.
Goal was simply to get rid of the mild shine on the seats, bring back some suppleness and give it a natural look.
Began with a through vacuum of the seats and crevices,
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0163.jpg)
Before applying the oil I heated up the seats with the heat gun to soften up the pores and allow for the RO to spread a little easier
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0166.jpg)
Massaged in the rejuvenator oil by hand
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0169.jpg)
Ive been told the leatherique kit works best with time and heat... time wasnt and issue but heat was as my garage was about 68degrees with the heat on full blast so again the heat gun came in handy.
So after applying the rejuvenator oil I used the heat gun on low setting and worked over the leather.
I did this about 4 times in a 24hr. period
Also applied the RO to the steering wheel in hopes to get rid of the grime and oily look... this stuff is thick!
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0171.jpg)
Same process was repeated for the passenger seat
Passenger seat before

![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0158.jpg)
All covered
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0155.jpg)
After sitting overnight the seats absorbed a good bit of the oil, once again I hit them with the heat gun
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0170.jpg)
Fast forward a few more hours to make a full day of sitting and it was time to remove the rejuv. oil and proceed with the 2nd step of the process
Spray on the pristine clean and work it in with a brush
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC07500.jpg)
Use a hot damp towel to wipe away the excess product and see what you left with
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC07502.jpg)
Nice matte finish on the leather, no more greesy steering wheel
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0233.jpg)
All finished
![](http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh316/nosdrummer91/Range%20Rover/DSC_0265-2.jpg)
Definitely helped with mattifying (own word) the leather and restoring the supple feel, these seats werent really jacked up so I'd like to see how well this kit does on other cars

Fast forward a few more hours to make a full day of sitting and it was time to remove the rejuv. oil and proceed with the 2nd step of the process
Spray on the pristine clean and work it in with a brush

Use a hot damp towel to wipe away the excess product and see what you left with

Nice matte finish on the leather, no more greesy steering wheel

All finished

Definitely helped with mattifying (own word) the leather and restoring the supple feel, these seats werent really jacked up so I'd like to see how well this kit does on other cars

I finished the rest of the interior work. Made sure all the door jambs and small compartments were sorted out as needed

Gave the spare tire compartment a vacuum, sealed the wheel with a quick coat of JS109 and dressed the tire, just wanted everything to look uniform same on on the exterior

Before LSP I pulled the car outside to inspect my work, sun wasnt strong enough to show a whole lot

Back inside to finish everything, the car seemed to have an endless need of work, I will be so happy to work on a 2door coupe next week.
Started on the trimwork, 50/50 on side mirror

The front window cowl was shot... faded gray with scrapes in it, after extensive cleaning and several coats of dressing it got only marginally better

I usually wait to do the pedal section last, moving the car forward and back in the garage just gets it dirty again anyways

Did some finishing touches cleaning up all the vents and door jambs

Before the final DI water wipedown I dusted the car down... this thing has really earned its keep in the garage
