Ok ... so here's my Fuji with Crystal Serum ... at this point I have done 550 miles over two days.....

100 on mountain roads....
I am so impressed with this stuff.....

I gave the car a spray with Gtecniq C2V3 the day before which really glossed up the paint and made dirt adhesion

much harder...

Have to say that looks pretty amazing.

I got the usual Supaguard protection with mine which does nothing really to stop the dirt welding itself to my Fuji.

I would seriously consider Crystal if this is the net result.

See where you're coming from Ady... It does look all wrong...

No repairs at all... I'll look when I get it out the garage , I hope it's just the light..

Otherwise it could only be JLR... Shocked

Looks like a light dusting of some dirt/grime. You can see a thumb mark in the center of the panel below the number plate which has a lighter appearance.

Sure all is ok.

Restyling the rear spoiler would help. Maybe something with a slot to guide a part of the air stream downwards. sweeping the rear window. The standard spoiler is probably designed on the drawing board, for good looks only. RRS SC 2011 for fun

I took a look at my rear spoiler. I doesn't have any desired effect on the air stream. Instead, at speed it creates an increasing vacuum underneath, which efficiently sucks in and compresses the air (with the flying dirt particles). And smudges the tail end of this baby.

The spoiler might be good for speeds exceeding 150 mph, pressing the rear wheels to the ground, but that's about it. RRS SC 2011 for fun

I agree, always washing it daily. A picture I took a few weeks ago.

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Arctic Frost

I live out in the sticks and mine is filthy (and probably illegal) by the time i have got back from the not so local car wash, I'm tempted to employ a full time Eastern European to just keep the damn thing clean.

I have had mud flaps fitted to it now, trouble is now its only the centre of the tailgate that gets sh**y, it looks like a 'skid' mark on the back of the car Rolling Eyes some of my Previous cars

You can always leave it dirty to keep that countrified gentry look. It is an RR after all, its not meant to be clean, is it?

Here, because we get very little rain and our soil is sandy and not muddy like England, our cars stay quite clean, especially as I don't do much country driving. Here between the city and the beach, all I have to do is to soap wand mine, rinse and dry once per week.

But head north from here and the red dust gets everywhere, in fact, its almost impossible to remove, that's why they make rental cars!
