A good polish

Thought id make the most of the sun and spent the day restoring the paintwork on my new project. Removed all scratches then T cutted then polished and its come up like new very happy


sent from my secret retreat

Very nice, what polish did you use? I prefer MER polish.

Thanks mate i put 2 coats of maguirs on seems pretty good

Yes, Ive heard lots of good stuff regarding maguires, not cheap though.

Fooksake , you polished a disco ! :hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

Ha yes mate if more people do the same maybe there will still be a disco section on the forum in another 10 years with d1's still looking good. Or they will have all been bobtailed off roaded never washed and rotten. Each to there own i suppose.
Some people think a landrover should be permanently caked in mud covered in scratches trim missing interior swimming in river water. But the whole its an off roader who gives a **** routine only lasts so long before it looks a heap and costs money. All my opinion off coarse

looks good mate how did you go about removing the scratches?

Thanks i used a cutting compound the stuff you use to blend in paint when you respray an area, works realy well just dont go too far through the lacquar

Some durty fooker has scratched my son's car while it was parked in the car park outside his work. Apparently 3 cars were vandalised. Both offside doors, deep scratches. Bastid. I just hope I dont find out who done it. Looks like I will be replacing the doors. I kept the doors off his old one, same colour etc. I suppose I could respray them and use the cutting compound etc but I aint no sprayer.

i use salisbury plain mud to polish my bobtail

On my old car that had a deep scratch i used a touch up pen then used cutting compound to take excess off and leave flush with original paintwork, worked quite well

Scratches? this is the polish, just use twice a year Car Wax Shop 100% Pure Yellow Carnauba Wax / Polish | eBay

when i bought my 300tdi it was a right state, dull paintwork, ****ty transfers and never been cleaned in a long time, spent 3 days welding and cleaning, my car went from 400 quid spares repairs to a 1200 quid car easy. not bad return on 3 days work. well done she looks well mate

I've never polished mine since I've had it






















I get the wife to do it instead!

(keeps her arm muscles in shape )

Hi all, having a polished up Disco is great. I use Autoglym which i find gives a real deep shine. I have also just ordered the new KARCHER under chassis cleaner. Just Google it and see what it does. Really don't do offroad but with todays salty and dirty roads have to do something to keep underside clean.

cheers
