Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Arlington, TX Posts: 25,603 | Jaguar S Type, revisted GS300, more Acrylic Jett on a 911 1999 Jaguar S Type. I detail this car about once a year, which seems about right considering it is nearly 7 years old and only has 31,000 miles on it. Older couple who drive it to church on Sunday and out to dinner on Friday nights.
Still in excellent shape, just needed light polishing. I got some of the Lake Country variable contact pads from my Optimum distributor and they are just perfect for this car and the curvey hood. Menzerna 106FF using a Lake Country polishing pad and Detailer's Pride Premium Surface Shield by hand.
=============
2004 Lexus GS300. I detailed it on Thanksgiving morning, using Optimum, Vanilla Moose and Carnauba Moose. At the 7 week mark, after a QEW wash, you can see CMW is holding up nicely. Still has great beading and decent slickness. Car sits outside during the day and is tunnel washed 2-3 times a month (they are too far for me to regularly wash their cars).  | |

Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: Arlington, TX Posts: 25,603 | Mid winter detail on my car. Really cold to start December, some ice and they use sand on the bridges, overpasses and intersections for traction. No real rain since then so my car is always dusty within a few days after washing. And of course, when it is dusty, that is when people brush up against it, touch the paint, etc. Nothing real bad but some areas in direct sun were beginning to bother me.
This is after using Menzerna 106FF with a Lake Country Polishing pad, Clearkote's Vanilla Moose with a green lite cut Propel pad, my hybrid Pink Moose with a Lake Country finishing pad only (no wax):
After applying Carnauba Moose with a Meguiars finishing pad-took these at a customer's house, better background than at home! Sorry no sun pics, there was no sun.
Based on how my car looked with Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett, CMW is a bit deeper and rich looking but not as 'black'. I think I will maintain the finish for the next few months with layers of CJ and see how it works out.  | |

Thanks for the report on the AJ, should have my hands on some AJ/CJ by next w/e.
Are you still applying the AJ/CJ by rubbing it in to each panel till it disappears, then MF?
On our dark red BMW , do you think I should prime then a few coats of AJ followed a few of CJ?
Its been about 8 weeks since it got polished last, so should I still prime it? It's garage kept. | |

Don't know how you come up with all those car finish combinations  . No matter what you use all the cars are beautiful. Do you think the variable contact pads are for experienced PC users only? I need more pads on the way to debtor's prison.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon | |

All the details are beautiful.

Since Jeff's Werkstatt is in affilication with Carlack of Germany you should be able to find similar products in Europe under the Carlack brand. Carlack 68 vs. Jeff's Werkstatt | |
