Try a bit of garlic paste - that's supposed to work wonders
Although I think it is completely pointless polishing a sump guard, you've made a bloody good job of it 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

My school of thought says keep going, but I'm a detailer
The mud brigade will be along shortly to contradict me though

With thanks to Boodog for supplying the plate and Discotres for his advise on tubes of metal polish!

It would make more sense if it was actually fitted to your D3!

Impressed with your work, but I'm from the brigade that thinks it's wrong to have a clean Land Rover, let along underbody protection. Lloyd "Phat Face"

How are you going to protect all that polishing, one damp day and that plate will start oxidising.
"I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you read is not what I meant"
Of course, all that hard work will disappear the first time your glad you've got it fitted to the car
As a shining example of excellent underbody protection I hope it serves you as well as it did me MY2016 SDV6 Graphite in Fuji White....... as I like to see the mud and scratches 🤪

We have to do this to our fuel tanks in the summer months, luckily not the alloy wheels (and thers's many) cos they are Stainless Steel.
The fuel tanks last about 3minutes in the rain........................... , and we use the AUTOSOL too, good luck on the day you lost
