It`s an `87 Jaguar XJ-S V12.
SSR2/green via PC
GEPC/blue via PC
UPP by hand
VM on glass
PB`s Trim Restorer on plastic
303 on tires
VM on chrome
The car was in pretty nice shape, but there were a few minor issues to be addressed. Wax stains on the plastic, waxing dust in the door jambs, hazed bumpers, streaks in the paint from waxing, and some typical swirling.

Here`s one problem that definitely needed some work. I was skeptical that I could do anything to help the problem, but I was actually impressed by the filling ability of GEPC.

Sheesh, Maxy, I asked you if it was an XJ-S, and you said it was an XJ12 coupe...which would be a different animal (if they actually made them...I don`t remember). We used to have Jag dealer a couple towns over and my friends and I used to go over and gawk at the XJ-S`s back in the day, although they didn`t have the dual fuel tanks like the XJ sedans. Cracking came out good; what did the customer say?
PS I see your U-Haul in the background ;)

Gorgeous! I`m very impressed by what was acomplished with the GEPC. A quick and maybe silly question. Exactly how did you apply the VM to the windows? Every time I have tried this, I get spmearing and streaking with the wipers. I know alot of people here use it on the windows, I must be removing it incorrectly. What`s your technique? Thanks

Very nice, thanks for sharing this one. By the looks of it that one must`ve lived an easier life than mine did (before I made mine a garage-queen too). His build-quality puts mine to shame too.
Where was the cracking, on the hood and around the fuel filler area?
Oh, and what, no engine compartment pics? Doing *that* part of these cars is, uhm, "fun" ;) :grinno:
