I spent the day detailing my the nicest xmas present I've ever bought my wife--a new Range Rover HSE. A couple of things came up today that I know the experts here can handle...
My process:
Wash with ONR
Clay Magic
Hit a few spots with the PC (Optimum Compound/Optimum Polish)
AJ Trigger
303 on trim
The truck only has 100 miles on it, so it was in pretty good shape. However, the hood had loads of scratchy contaminants that the clay took care of. Oh yeah, my first question..
1. There are a few water spots visible under the halogens. I tried to get them out with the PC using Optimum Compound and a LC orange pad. Wouldn't budge! I'm a relative novice with the PC, but it seemed like I worked the compound adequately. I considered using a yellow pad, but the warning on the package about not using it on new paint gave me pause. Am I just not being aggressive enough? OC should take water spots out, right?
One more quick question...
2. The Rover has several different kinds of plastic trim. 303 seemed to work well on the grayish plastic, but not the black plastic of the B and C pillar. Gave it a strange, greasy look. Can anyone recommend a good product for this plastic? I know several folks here have done Range Rovers.
It was nearly dark when I finished, but here are a couple of horrible photos anyway :chuckle:

For most exterior plastics I've had good luck with chemical guys vrt dressing, maybe give that a try.
