View Full Version : Not garage queens
If I only had taken some befores, this red Jaguar had towel marks on every inch of the paint.
THe car was not compounded but polished with the cyclo 2X. Finally, a layer of Souvern was added. I guess you can say this is my quicker method of detailing a car as it saves much time had i done a cc compound, polish, followed by a sealer instead. Ok, I know the tires are not shiny but I did purchase a sample of EO and an applicator for the customer. Not to mention the $10 gas I wasn`t reimbursed.:rolleyes:

A bit on the hazy side.
Any tips about how to polish better are appreciated.

Hmm, that IS one of the Ford produced Jaguars.

So true, but this classic design was in place prior to Ford`s acquisition ( majority) of Jaquar:nixweiss :wavey

Actually that design was introduced in 1995 model year, that`s 5 years after Ford`s purchase of Jaguar.

Beautiful! I can not tell that it is hazy from the picture. Some waxes are more reflective but this is a deeper gloss. I like it. I like the deeper gloss on the dark colors and the reflective can really pop on metallic paint.
It would be nice to have some input from others that use a different type wax on different paint surfaces and why?

That Mesh Grill And Painted Chrome Are Tell-Tale Signs Of Being A XJR, Most Colors Have The Painted Chrome, Some Dont.
Rightlane:
I still think the car is a little hazy. For that reason only, I chose a Pinnacle caranuba over a synthetic sealer. Souveran seems to add a little richness and glow.
On this GMC I used a sealer. I thought the paint was a little washed-out so, I tried a Souveran topper and it did add a degree of richness, once again. In my experience, if a vehicle is hazy it can`t hurt to add a little gloss. Unfortuneatly, in the end, the finish under all the wax is what really counts.

I too would relish some intelligent advice about variances in product selection and proper machine operation.

Ryan-
You recently posted a picture of that silver Acura, right? That car was incredible. Incredible. I can still picture it in my mind.
