Hi,

Here we have a Jaguar XK booked in for a stage 2 treatment plus a few extras.

This was the car on arrival

[Image: DSC03309.jpg]

First off was to remove the wheels to give them a good clean, apply some protection and also sort those rusty looking hubs and calipers. Tools wrapped in masking tape to protect the alloys.

Tyres cleaned with APC

[Image: DSC03342.jpg]

Wheels cleaned with Bilberry

[Image: DSC03341.jpg]

Calipers cleaned up before painting

[Image: DSC03343.jpg]

Once the alloys were cleaned and polished, 2 layers of Poorboys wheel sealant was applied

[Image: DSC03345.jpg]

Hubs and calipers painted

[Image: DSC03353.jpg]

Much better

[Image: DSC03356.jpg]

All fuel, door and boot shuts were cleaned with APC

[Image: DSC03367.jpg]

The car was then snowfoamed before being washed via 2 buket method using Shampoo Plus

[Image: DSC03369.jpg]

It was then taken inside to be clayed and then washed by hand again

[Image: DSC03370.jpg]

Paint thickness readings were then taken. I was already previously aware that some panels had been resprayed

Areas were taped up as they were worked on

[Image: DSC03418.jpg]

I started with the Makita rotary, 3M polishing pad and backing plate and Menzerna 3.02. These images still require refining

Once all was complete the paint was refined using a 3M finishing pad and Menzerna 85rd

[Image: DSC03512.jpg]

Once complete the car was dusted off and then had an ipa wipedown. Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was then applied

[Image: DSC03521.jpg]

The first application of Swissvax Best of Show was applied

[Image: DSC03522.jpg]

With the light coloured leather slightly suffering this was then cleaned with Gliptone cleaner

[Image: DSC03523.jpg]

And then conditioned with Gliptone conditioner, such a lovely smell to this product

[Image: DSC03524.jpg]

The mats were then removed and all parts of the interior and boot were hoovered and dusted down

[Image: DSC03532.jpg]

Natural Look was then applied to all interior plastics and all glass was polished inside and out

[Image: DSC03527.jpg]

Bumper Care was then used to treat all door/boot seals, boot plastics and exterior plastics

[Image: DSC03538.jpg]

The tyres were then dressed with Endurance Gel

[Image: DSC03526.jpg]

The exhausts polished with NXT

[Image: DSC03529.jpg]

The second application of Swissvax Best of Show was then applied

[Image: DSC03552.jpg]
