United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Stornoway Grey

NP

I'm in possession of a swirl free car at the moment Thumbs Up , it has been washed once (pressure) so no contact with the paintwork just yet, I'll stick with that regime as long as I can. What would you advise for a simple to apply 'wet look' finish after washing?

Also do you know any 'bricks and mortar' based suppliers for high pressure snow foam applicators? I'm not sure what the fitting is on my Wickes branded powerwasher Laughing so could do with taking the lance into a shop to see what fits it. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor Smile ... but not any more ... Big Cry ... psst look at my gallery!

Not sure on where to pick up a foam lance, you could try looking at the suppliers section on DW and look at location as see if they allow collection I think wickes are lavor connectors

best quick product I have is DODO Juice RedMist after fully drying your car you spray on wipe off leaves it looking great

JKP can sort you out at forum prices Thumbs Up

Or Autoglym Aqua wax no where near as good but can be used during the drying process if your drying with a micro fibre towel Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Are you going to carry a trolley jack and a couple of F1 pitstop guys to change the wheels everytime you approach a kerb?

The mathematical answer is:- (19+17)/2 = 18" wheels Cool

How do you intend to protect the painted bits along the door sills and front and rear areas under the "bumpers" Question They look very vulnerable to scratchy terrain on the latest FL2’s

My guess is you will never take it real off roading for fear of a scratch or two Shocked 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
