Had a new car detail on it today with a good wax and sealant and the guys said in terms of the quality of the paint it is the best he has seen recently and he’s done a number of new car details of all makes this last month.

I did think about a black roof but I really like the top side windows and I wanted to see them so decided without.

The side steps are a godsend .. my wife, who’s car it is, is not really tall and so it makes a difference . TBH I also use them all the time as well .. makes getting in so much easier.. getting out you have to remember to use them if not you sort of fall out and make yours jeans dirty

Only Arch black looks good, wrap or spray. No Mud flaps for my 90.!

had the same feedback from our detailer when they installed the PPF.. he had done about a half a dozen
press vehicles for the Aussie launch a few weeks before and stated they all had top notch paint finishes.. yet another pommie bar steward down under

Me too, when the car went in for ceramic coating the guys reported back that it was the best paint finish that they had seen on any Land Rover or Range Rover in ages. IIRC there were no rectifications needed ............. and then I went on an LRE day and managed to pinstripe two parallel lines right down the near side....... through the clear coat into the green but not into the primer. They did a good job polishing and sealing them then they applied the PPF to give some protection for later off-roading.

Same from my detailer, he said it required very little correction before he applied the ceramic. He took £100 of the quote because he didn’t spend too much time doing it.

On the other hand, my Jaguar F Type which I’ve had for 6 years, needed hours of correction before it was ceramic coated last week. Cost more to do than the Defender! That added to the wheel refurb is the first major expense that cars had. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV
