Even though it's been in family for two years now, I thought I'd share some photos of my parent's Range Rover Sport, after I gave it a properly good clean!
This included:
1 pressure wash, 2 shampoos, 2 layers of wax applied to the car's exterior and door & boot shuts (one coat after each wash); WD40 applied to engine bay plastics; one layer of wax on the reverse side of the bonnet; chemical cleaned, washed and then waxed alloys (only one coat required); polished and hoovered the interior, plus used Selotape to remove all the dog hairs in the boot; cleaned interior glass, then applied 2 coats of wax; dressed all external black plastics, tyres and interior rubber floor mats.
It took around 12 hours to complete, over 3 days.

The car is presented in Bonatti Grey with a cream leather interior. It has 22" Overfinch "Tiger" alloy wheels and colour coding to the wing mirros, door handles, A & D pillars, side skirts and lower plastics on the front and rear bumpers.
Yesterday, I took a few photographs, to share on PH smile (Photos taken with a Canon IXUS 75.)
By the way, I'm neither a professional valeter or photographer, as I'm sure the experts will agree on! hehe

Thanks guys smile

RE: washing twice, I wanted two coats of wax on the car. I planned to wash the car, then wax it twice. However, the car had to be left outside for a week inbetween Day 1 and Day 2 of cleaning, due to our garages being flooded. So, although the car wasn't used, it wasn't clean enough to apply the 2nd layer of wax.

Tyres are around £200 per corner. MPG - usually around 22ish with my Mum's driving. I've had it down to 11 biggrindriving
