Total Time - 7 hours


One very dirty RRover. Bad client!






















After drivers door only. Guess I should have used AG Tar and Adhesive Remover eh?


RRover paint is quite soft. The marring you see is from client washing and claying. Crazy soft!


Bilt-Hamber Auto Balm to the rescue. This is after one coat.


Some afters...


































Thanks for looking!

 

Looking great Ken. Looks like you had your hands full with that RangeRover.
I'm looking forward to using my Auto Balm. Nice filling on that marring!

 

Very nice :applause2:

Do you sell that Bilt-Hamber Auto Balm? It looks like it significantly darkened the paint, exactly what I want for my Dad's Range Rover.

Is it just the reflections or is the paint a lot darker?

 

I think youve posted this rover before? Results are pretty drastic considering no paint correction was done. Nice work :thumb:

 

Wow Bilt-Hamber has that much filling capabilities?? Awesome!!!

 

Wow! That look amazing Ken. That black looks super dark and rich.

 

Wow, it filled in pretty nicely! Great work Ken!

 

Awesome product. This is a different RRover from the one I normally post. I will have BH Auto Balm, clay and soap in stock in 4-6 weeks. The only downside to this product is that if you apply it too thick, you're screwed. Period. It doesn't fill in RDS, but does a great job on light marring and wash induced damage.

 

I have heard this about BH, could you share with us your method of application? I cant wait to use it

 

First thing I did was throw away the terry applicator it came with. I just couldn't get it on thin enough using it. I used a Blackfire Ultimate Applicator pad. Spray the pad with water and gently push the pad down onto the BH Balm. DO NOT DRAG ACROSS!! The little bit the pad picks up will be enough to do a 2x2 section. I applied in small circles to ensure even coverage. Let it haze over and buff off. Do another section. If you put this stuff on too thick and it dries, well, its all over. Thin is the word of the day and in small sections. :thumb:

 

Awesome work! It is now all detailed!

 

Wow, I cant believe the depth and shine it leaves. Nice job Ken.

Will have to check this out when you have in stock.

 

Wow, Looks great. It doesn't matter what you do. You do it beautifully...:worship2:

 

What a transformation with no paint correction, well done Ken

The Bilt Hamber appears to be a fantastic product for a quick once over, thanks for sharing Ken !

 

Looks great. The picture with the clay gave me shivers lol. Yucky dirt ! :catfight:

Keep them coming.

Cheers!
Nick

 

That is so wicked. How long does it last? I take it that it's in essence a glaze, correct?

 

Holy cow Ken, fabulous job. Be careful, this client isn't going to come back for a correction job if you keep making his Range Rover look that good! :lol:

Boy am I glad I got a pot of Auto Balm from Ben yesterday. I've got some "make it better" details coming up this weekend down in Atlanta, and I bet this will be just the thing. The filling effect is amazing!

 

Great job Ken.

 

Awesome work!

...So when is that black SL63 in the garage getting some attention?

 

Im waiting to here back from Peter at BH as to longevity. We now have a resident BH expert here from DW, PJS. I'll ask him. Its actually a sealant with filling capabilities.

I can't stress enough, damp foam applicator, lightly press onto Balm, 2x2 section at a time. It takes a while but results are worth it. Seriously though, go load up a fender on your car like you'd normally do with a wax or sealant. I double dare you!!

Soon my little friend. Very soon. They haven't been driving it much as a local gangster who keeps getting shot at is driving a black 500SL as well. Best to avoid that situation all together.
