1953 Jaguar XK150 Full Wetsand Unique Kar Kare

[uniquedetailing]

<span style="font-family:`comic sans ms`, cursive;">Let me introduce to you 1953 Jaguar XK150. This Jaguar had under gone a full build adding modern day features. When I first went to inspect the condition of the paint it turned into a much bigger project. The new respray had been sanded and polished out but there was still signs throughout the car of heavy sanding marks. The Jaguar would go through a full wetsand and polish. I measured the paint first to make sure there was plenty of paint to play with. In areas I would have to use 800 grit paper to remove the deepest marks. I want to thank Kevin Brown especially for sending the right tools for the job and great advice.`

<span style="font-family:`comic sans ms`, cursive;">The paint was some of the hardest clear ive ever seen. I had to pull out the big gun. Rotary and Wool with HD Cut.


<span style="font-family:`comic sans ms`, cursive;">I did a test section just to make sure I was able to get the desired results.
