Title: detailing a very scratched discovery
Post by: marmite monster on December 04, 2008, 20:45:13: had this 300tdi discovery booked at work today in for full paint corection as it has some very heavy bush scratches down both sides of the body due to green laning. its prob one of the worst cars ive ever done but it came up realy well the owners jase and karren are happy so all is good!
this is known as a 50 50 and shows corrected and uncorrected paint side by side as you can see there is a massive difference!

the prosses of polishing out scatches like these is long and great care must be taken, i used a orbital polisher and a medium cut compound and worked the pannels one by one and sections at a time.any questions on how to do it in more detail just ask or if you make the tea ill come and do it for you :lol:

ohh big thanks to karren for the marmite on toast and cups of tea! :D

Been out in it this avo and i got lots of looks. It really does look like a brand new car!

Highly recommended if you want to turn your off roader back into a good looking car. Well worth the money.

Many thanks
Jase and Karen

Might have a try on the worst bits myself, I cant make it look any worse :)
