I was thinking of using gloss carbon fibre wrap on all those bits, but these look really nice too |

You could get the parts carbon dipped which looks better than wrap - https://www.customdip.co.uk/services--packages |

Well after 3 days of claying (again), correcting the paintwork from swirls/ scratches, mudflap fitting and general fettling it's almost finished ready to get dirty with the road salt yet again

Looks great but soooo hard to keep like that. What polishes / sealants do you use? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

After the correction stage i use Poorboys EXP sealant as i was told white paint shows better with sealant unlike coloured + metallics which are better with a glaze or wax

Ok, like poorboys stuff used their black hole glaze and natty blue liquid wax, found they give a good finish but the glaze does not repel water for long periods. Wonder is the exp better in that regard? Currently using Megs gold class wax which I'm impressed with.

Glaze is used to get a shine (usually for shows or when selling a car, etc) so doesn't last long, a sealant is supposed to last anywhere from 6 months onwards as it's a coating so this beads for a few months.

Yep - washed, clayed, Dual Action polished (machine polished), sealed paint then blacked all unpainted black trim with Blackwow to bring the deep black colour back - don't want to drive it now so it doesn't get dirty again

Shiney silver vent covers fitted to break up the blackness of the dash - match the gear surround nicely

I was thinking about getting the surround wrapped or dipped gloss black (afraid paint might chip) then trying to find a leather stitched gaitor for the gear lever - hmmm |
