Final Correction/Detail :( 2011 Jaguar XJL Blackfire Crystal coat

[Justins00ss]

Hi guys! Haven`t posted too much lately as my wife and I have been real busy getting things together to move out of our house. Over the past several years I have been fortunate to live within 20min of Autogeek/Autopia headquarters and have enjoyed all of the events they have. That being said we have sold our house and for now are still going to be in Port Saint lucie Florida just living with her parents. Our initial plans were to build a house in Palm city which is the next town over but my wife got some unsettling news about her job.


Fortunately she has contacts back home in Boston where we both grew up and has had a phone interview already with a company and just found out that they are flying her up for a face to face meeting. If all goes well then we will be leaving sunny Florida and head back home. So it looks like I will be taking a small hiatus from detailing until we get settled.

Now that that`s out of the way. About a week after completing my last correction (C7ZO6) the customer called me and wanted to see if I could get his brothers 2011 Jaguar XJL in for some serious work. Thankfully I have a very understanding wife and she was cool enough to let me take in one last job amiss the commotion going on!

Process:

Wheels: Iron-x/acid Coated with Blackfire Crystal Coat

Tires: Cleaned with Tuff shine tire cleaner/Tuff shine brush Dressed with BlackFire total eclipse tire dressing.

Wheel wells: Cleaned and then dressed with Meguiars Ultimate protectant

Paint- Washed with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo, Decon- Iron-x, nanoskin, DP clay bar, polished using 3401, prototype orange pad, Menzerna PF2500. Tight areas were done using my PE8 and FG400/SF4000. Coated with Blackfire crystal coat

Exterior glass- Hydro2

Interior- all leather/vinyl cleaned with Pinnacle leather/vinyl cleaner. Seats coated with Cquartz leather coating. Carpets spot cleaned and fully vac`d.

Door jambs- cleaned and hand polished with HD Speed
Trunk- cleaned and vac`d
Chrome- Polished with Turtle wax chrome polish


There was a lot of surface area to cover on this car but what a car it is. The color really came alive when it was all said and finished!

Onto the pictures.

Which acidic wheel cleaner do you use Justin? I`m looking to add an acidic wheel cleaner to my arsenal for really bad wheels to save me some time.

Ray thanks for the kind words and gesture! As for the wheel acid this was the last of some generic stuff from my dealership days. I have used meguiars D140 in the past with good luck.
