Dead Cat

[Harleyguy]

Now that I have your attention LOL I was called again by the GM of the dealership I work for that the so called detail company we use did it again . My mission as always get the car done and on the showroom floor by the afternoon .
Thank you for looking as always when I do these details at work I can't document the whole process since I have other work that needs to get done during the day .

2011 Jaguar XK-R Convertible
Process of correction and products used
Two Bucket wash using Pinnacale Natural Brilliance
Meguiars Micro Fiber system
Flex 3401
Porter Cable
Menzerma 85RD
LSP Mothers California Gold
Hydro Tech pads
Lots of Micro fibers and brushes
As always the weather in South Florida changes by the minute most of the before pictures are inside under the lights



Here is some of the before pictures of what I was dealing with from Buffer trails to swirls and some rids .







Next up the rims /tires / calipers /Before and after









Next the exhaust before and after.





They used a acid bass wheel cleaner that actually ate into the lugs nuts I had to clean them using a wire wheel .



The interior was in good shape only needed some touching up also the engine compartment needed some touching up.
Next the correction stage .
Here are some 50/50 shots of the Meguiars system doing it's magic




After using the Micro Fiber cutting pads you can notice some hazing .

After using the 85RD


Finally some sun came out

Nice job Adam!

I really like the before and after picture of the wheel barrel. Shows how much love that wheel needed.

The Jag looks great!!! Love that body style!!!

Nice Clean up Adam, your title definitely got my attention !

Did you use the MF correction system on this as well? I was not completely clear on that detail.

...the so called detail company we use did it again.

And they keep using the same bozos...why?

Nice recovery on the Jag. Guess those Thursday night practice sessions are paying off. Where's your model-babe?
