07 Range Rover Paint Restoration 40+ Pics Paint Was Bad

2007 Range Rover Sport HSE

Paint Restoration

3M Perfect-It Rubbing Compound orange pad Flex rotary
3M Perfect-It Ultrafine Machine Polish blue pad Flex rotary

1Z Einszett Glanz Wax - bottom coat to seal
Adams Americana Paste Wax - top coat for extra protection
Rejex on all glass, wheels, head & tail lights

most detailers call this paint "paint correction" but i call it "paint restoration"

FYI, i am the only one in my shop that picks up a wheel for any machine polishing or paint restoration job!
