REPO land rover lr2 detail
 
A little about the land rover
-repo by dealership
-owner was a pig. had clothes sleeping bag trash moldy peaches and even Mayonnaise dried up in one of the corner. the carpet was stained and the seats were very ugly and oily, sticky. center console was the worst as it had mold and alot of food and sticky stuff.
-orange
-looks to been repainted as over spray apparent on trim and some parts are bubbled
-made in 2008


Owner Expectations
- make the interior new again and inform if seats need to be touched up
- get rid of the scratches on the hood


Results
-80% scratches were removed except deep ones( inspected using florescent lights and halogen lights)
- interior (leather cleaned and treated with rejuvenating oil, all marks and carpet stain removed)

Tools and products used
-makita rotary (for compounding, polishing, glaze) (after a few years experience i can produce a swirl free result)
-polish/lt cut pad (used for compounding, polishing) (only pad available at dealership)
-meg 84
-autoglym
-mothers seal
-mother carb wax

sorry no before pictures of the interior. should snapped some. it was just terrible, like a homeless person lived in it. everyone at the dealership was surprised how clean the interior is after the detail

how do you remove stain on the cloth seats?

jasonc 01-18-2012 06:59 PM

hot water extractor would be my first choice.

if you dont have access to one, you apc 10:1 or 4:1 for spots. scrub and let it sit and repray and wipe or vac.

you can also use a carpet cleaner but be careful since it can take some of the color or stain the seats.

remember to use a fabric protect spray (ie scotch gard) to prevent future staining.

what shop is this so many nice cars

GAGA 01-23-2012 01:45 AM

can you tell me how you get rid of swirls on black cars?

jasonc 01-23-2012 11:28 AM

depends on severity or how much you want to use. if you dont know what your doing you can do more bad than good. (ie. burn the paint, take off too much clear, cause deeper and more scratches etc)

i use a rotary, if the paint warrants it, a wool pad followed by a cut polish finish pad, would use meg cut like m86 and work my way down to a m80 or skip 83-80 and use a 205.
sanding might also be needed. some slight haze might be left so after final polish so use sonax paint cleaner then go over with a sealant and 2 coats of wax should bring it back to better than show room condition. i have done enough work to finish with a rotary without causing holos but some new detailers would use a dual action. some that are not experienced with a rotary should not use it since it can take less than a second to go through your paint. i have done it before and it is a hard lesson learned. but with dual action for paint correction takes lots of time and you cant really use compound with it but good for light detailing. i used to use it only for putting on final polish, seal, and wax.


contact me if you want a inspection and paint correction done to your car

GAGA 01-24-2012 09:01 PM

you dont use 3m?? polish?

jasonc 01-24-2012 09:25 PM

been trained on 3m but dont like it. even bcit has meg stuff
more of a meg person and i have buckets of their stuff. i even get a good discount from the company
polish isnt going to take out your scratches. you need a compound and the right pad.

gaga if you want to start polishing your own cars there are many steps involved and you should get training. not saying from me but go to school like bcit or other places.

it only takes 1 wrong move to mess up the paint. i have also seen people use way too much compound thinking they get everything out and in the end took off almost all the clearcoat leaving zero chance of future polishing.

make sure to always wipe down after each stage with alcohol or wash the car to get rid of all the oils in the polish since it can hide defects. nothing pisses people off then having all those swirls come back after 1 wash.

also you have to enjoy detailing cars and have patients. it can take multiple tries to get the results you want. and its back breaking work. :)
