Hi,

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

This was the car on arrival





7

























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



Wheels cleaned with Bilberry



Calipers cleaned up before painting



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













Hubs and calipers painted





Much better





All fuel, door and boot shuts were cleaned with APC





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



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



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











Onto the defects via halogen lighting























And via LED lighting, taken across the car























Areas were taped up as they were worked on



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







Unpolished



Polished



Moving around the car























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





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



The first application of Swissvax Best of Show was applied



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



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



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





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



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















The tyres were then dressed with Endurance Gel



The exhausts polished with NXT



The second application of Swissvax Best of Show was then applied



These were the final pics





























































As always, the final task, the customers service book detailing his treatment



Thanks for looking,

Christian
