Can't Help Myself

My neighbor is a very good friend to me and frequently gives me business in the form of cars to wash. Today I was assigned to clean up his black '08 Range Rover Sport Supercharged. I'm guessing he had it "detailed" somewhere because there are signatures all over this car that scream HACK!!!

These holograms are probably some of the worst I've ever seen and look like they came from a dirty wool pad being run by an inexperienced rotary user. Not being able to resist a black car on which to try out my products, I did a quick spot test for use on selling a full correction later this year.



This was the result of SIP on Orange and Super Finish on White.

Great job Andrew. That paint was horribly abused. Some people shouldn't own black cars.

Is RR paint relatively hard?

Portland-that's a hell of a correction. Your neighbor's got to love you now!

Thanks guys...it was just that little spot but it made me smile.

The paint was middle of the road, I'd say. It's soft enough that the SIP/Orange combo definitely caused noticeable hazing and hologramming but it's hard enough that it doesn't mar as easily as Honda paint.
