Well just because we all own the most bad *** off-road vehicles on the planet, doesn't mean they have to look all beat up. I spent the last 2 days trying to return my Disco back to it's glory days when it rolled off the showroom floor. I did a 3 part cut, polish and wax and was really amazed at how much color came back into the paint and how many of the lighter scratches came right out. Be sure to use a DA polisher and an orange foam pad for the cut and polish steps, and a black foam pad for waxing and you will be good. The foam pads are key to a great swirl free finish.

Did you get your bumpers somewhere local and do you have any pictures?
Installed a 150 Amp Alternator today. The 150 Amp was a little bigger but fits. My dumb @#$ didn't detach the battery so the positive burnt a streak along the top of the alternator. Scared the daylights out of me. I am going to have to polish the alternator, but I didn't burn or shock myself so total success.
Re-seated my ground from the Option B ABS fix which was attached where suggested in the fix. Got really rusty so I removed it, cleaned it up, and moved it to the post that hold the back of the ABS Pump on. Looks cleaner, and initially appears to be working.
Next up is going to stock springs while still my daily driver, and trying to remedy the Front ABS Sensors with some grease. If I get those Amigo's off I am doing a shot.
Now celebrating with a beer.

I added LED's in the overhead lights and I think they look great!
Also changed out the transfer case fluid out and replaced the magnet piece with one from X-Eng. It now has 85W140, and the stuff that came out looked like very thin maple syrup.
