SpeedFreak Detailed: '11 Jag XKR - dealer nightmare
This detail was especially satisfying to me personally, because of the transformation that took place. Upon talking to the customer, he explained that his brand new black Jaguar XKR with 800 miles on the ticker suffered from some swirling that he wanted taken care of. When I viewed the car for the first time, I literally almost fell over it was so bad. Even after doing this for quite a while, it still amazes me when I see such a mistreated vehicle. The wash boys at the dealer's lot had to have had a field day with this thing, or so I thought. I told Pete that it would likely take multiple days to bring the finish back, but that was not the case fortunately. When I started working on the car I was astounded to find I could not only correct, but FULLY finish out the paint with nothing but my Pinnacle Advanced finishing polish, and a white polish/finish pad. I have never worked on paint that was so soft in my entire life, and was afraid it would be impossible to maintain. I discussed various options with Pete, and thankfully he agreed that multiple coatings of CQuartz would be in his best interest. Full write up on that to follow.
Products used:
- Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner
- CG Citrus Wash
- Pinnacle Speed Clay
- Poorboy's World QD
- Pinnacle Advanced Finishing polish on LC CCS White pad via FLEX3401
- Stoner Invisible Glass
- HD Poxy
- Optimum metal polish
- Armor All tire gel
A few before shots showing some of the defects

Front bumper cover corrected

Driver's side fender corrected
Front part of roofline polished out

Quarter panel done, and tape removed

AFTERS
Thanks for looking, the CQuartz write up will follow.

That Pinnacle Advance Finishing Polish definitely finish beautifully.
Accomplishment and success are often the result of commitment and perseverance rather than skill or talent.

It is truly amazing when someone like yourself gets a car in such bad shape and turns it into a magazine cover! Regardless of what some uneducated people think..detailing is an art that few people truly have the patience and the passion to do right each and EVERY time...as if it were their own personal vehicle. Great Job...pat yourself on the back.
