I honestly was considering a bonnet respray.
Swirls and light scratches , and slightly "old" looking paint. (9 years)
Seriously regretting buying my first ever black car.

Anyway, had a few hours spare today and the sun was out... Bloody cold though

Washed with Farecla body prep shampoo
Rubbed all over with Farecla clay mitt (1st time since reading about in here)
DAS 6 pro DA polisher with Meguiars "ultimate compound"
Fusso Japanese polish

Good job that especially how cold it is today. Nice  Travelling around in circles again.

Black is the best colour when it's clean. Shame it's such a to keep it that way  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Looking good

Put in the Black Beauties thread - http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic30167-30.html

Looks like you did a good job there E4

Many people are scared of the DA polishers but with a bit pf practice a layman (or women) can get surprisingly good results.

Well done my friend.

And Alan - I agree - My Stornoway does look great but it just does not have the zing of a freshly cleaned Black'un.. But I got tired of it looking poo again after only a day or so as they do show the dirt very quickly.

Would that be an "avatar copycat" in my midst

They say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

looks good mate.

How did you find the fusso wax ? heard good things about it. My chemical guys stuff is just about done so think il be ordering some soon, plus iv found a supplier of it in the uk so don't need to wait on it coming from Japan  Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Mark I can give you a personal opinion on Fusso soft 99 wax. Its a really good wax. Easy to put on and buff off at our low winter temps. It does not harden quickly hence the easy buffing off at 4c which I did the other day on my wife's car.
However on my slab sided RR it seems to pick up and retain the dirt quicker than expected but the dirt is also easier to hose off or jet wash off. Its a good all round wax for the money and you can use it on your alloys. You probably know this anyway being a Chem guys user. Travelling around in circles again.

Sounds good. That's it ordered should arive tomorrow

Iv always used chemical guys 50/50 wax which to be honest I can't fault but just fancy a change and the fusso is half the price so will be interesting to see how it performs.

Here is the link for it. UK supplier with next day delivery http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/161583060190?nav=SEARCH Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Was the best shot I thought of the ones I took yesterday.... and yes another keen eye for a "moody" pic..

I like the Fusso wax,applied by hand and buffed off with machine.
Found the water "beading" lasted ages last time Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix
