I've found that a coat of wax before going out helps no-end and seems to protect the bodywork. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8.

I.e, LR's stupid touch up things are useless. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �¥ó �®ó �§ó �¿ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �·ó �¬ó �³ó �¿ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �³ó �£ó �´ó �¿ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡ªðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸â›½ï¸�🛢ï¸�âš™ï¸�🧰💪

bpman Member Since: 21 May 2008 Location: Oslo Posts: 8069	Have a look at http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/ There are various anti-scratch / anti-swirl compounds available - you should be able to recover your paintwork, if you are not sure, they are very helpful on the phone lines

Ian Mac Member Since: 16 Oct 2013 Location: Essex Posts: 53	Nice site... I did not know there were so many products available. I'm not going green leaning it it no more so will want it looking its best. Is it best to hire a pro to do this compound paste method? Ian 2008 TDCI 110 XS 1985 90 300tdi. Gone 2005 RR vogue TD6.

This is mine after a full machine polish (by me),it was originally ex Forestry Commission so you can imagine the scratches on it, does need looking after,but it keeps me outta trouble,lol.

Katoom Member Since: 07 Dec 2013 Location: Devon Posts: 25	Maybe take the 110 to a local body/paint shop and seek advice. I took in a Rover 75 I was selling which had scratches through the lacquer. 15 minutes later the effected panels were transformed without any hint of damage. Apart from being cheaper than buying compounds, polishes, tools etc etc. it took the stress away of possibly making things worse had I attempted diy.
