2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Zermatt Silver

The were £240 exchange from Powerful UK.

I'm very pleased with them.

Either check on eBay or go direct on their website; the prices are identical.

And seeing as I'm here, I've given my RR some TLC this weekend by cleaning and conditioning the leather using Autoglym APC, a scrubbing brush, quite a few cloths and followed this with Gliptone leather conditioner.

I then clay-barred the paintwork and polished using Zymol. The alloys were cleaned and waxed again for good measure.

Next job is to clean and detail the engine. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

2011 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Santorini Black

Totally agree, the walnut door handle surrounds and soft leather steering wheel are great mods. I also got hold of a new gear stick with the soft leather to match. I just need to find a hand brake handle and the set is complete.

Great looking Rangie, the polish really makes it shine like new. Tom

Well, a few more updates...

I detailed the engine bay. Could have done better (and will) but a big improvement on what it originally looked like.

Then I decided, after claying and using Zymol, that a coat of Autoglym HD wax would be a jolly wheeze on a sunny day.

And Lo! 'Twas (or should that be 'twis?) a sunny day today.

Had a look at the paint after a quick wash. Few swirls, so went over with Autoglym Ultra first. Here you can see the difference. Waxed on the left. Swirls on the right.

And this is what I got for my labours. Bellini looking moody, but happy.

Then a very intimate waxing with the HD. Lovely stuff!

And after buffing, a rather nice result.
