CQuartz UK and a Jaguar F-Pace S

I`ve always had a thing for blue vehicles but I`ve never managed to own one due to the right combination of performance options and color never quite works out in my favor. For now I get to admire my neighbor`s Loire Blue Jaguar F-Pace every time it drives by. The F-Pace is easily one of the best looking SUV`s on the road today and the color is stunning.

This Jaguar was in great shape when I pulled it up in the driveway to start work. A few very light swirls were visible in the bright sun, but it is obvious the owner tries to keep the paint in the best possible shape. The focus of this job is really to improve the shine versus trying to correct any damage.

Since the swirls were so minor I don`t have any of the dramatic before/after pictures I`ve had from other projects on the paint, but the trim was a different story.

I used DP`s polish for this project like I did the black Cayenne I posted a while back. I still feel the DP Polish is a great product in its price range and creates a great shine. I still find the working time a bit shorter than I`d like and removal takes a little more effort that I`d like. However, I`m starting to think the working time and removal time may be influenced more by climate. Something I`ve not really noticed in other products. When work first started on the F-Pace, temperatures and humidity were unseasonably low and comfortable. However, towards the end of polishing the vehicle, it started to rain heavily. At that point I noticed the polish`s work time became much shorter and removal became much more difficult.

Now on to what everyone is here for: the pictures of the finished product! Polished out and covered with a nice application of CQuartz UK, it really shines.

Looks GREAT!

Nice work.

Thanks! I really wish weather hadn`t rolled in on the day I finished. In full sun the blue paint is spectacular.

huge difference on the trim.
Thanks for the extra info on your experience of DP polish.

Overall, that SUV looks great!

Nicely done! Looks great!

Well, this is a little embarrassing....

I brought out the bottle of product to coat another vehicle for this family and I realized I didn`t use CQuartz UK. It was the CQuartz "classic" coating. The owner provided the coating and I originally gave them the information for UK, but that isn`t what they bought/provided. I didn`t even notice it until this weekend when I put the bottle next to one I own and saw the difference in the label and immediately realized what happened.
