2000 Jaguar XK8 Convertible

[Pats300zx]

It has been a while since I have the chance to detail someone else's car other than my own. This was just a quick cleanup on a very nice Jaguar XK8 convertible. The car is garage kept with only 49,000 miles. The paint was in pretty bad shape but we decided on a nice one step to get the car back to acceptable standards. The HD Proxy also brought out the nice black perl in this finish.

Process:

Wash with NXT wash soap
Clay with Speedy Prep Towel (Fine) and ONR as lube
Wheels cleaned with Sonax FE
Tires cleaned with Eagle One A to Z
HD Speed via Buff and Shine green pad and Rupes 21/Griots Garage
LSP=HD Proxy
Tires dressed with Optimum Tire Shine
Leather cleaned with Zaino Leather Cleaner
Leather dressed with Zaino Z10
Raggtopp on the convertible top
Glass cleaned with NXT glass
Wipe down with CG Speed Wipe

I am still getting marring when using the Speed Prep towel. This is the third car that I have used it on and I made sure that I broke it in on glass. Thankfully HD Speed cleaned it right up.
