C-MDX,
Thank You
Lynn, this is an XKR Jag with a supercharged V8. Nice cars but I really don't care for the seats in the XK's. Something with more side bolster support would be good.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures

Hey Scott,
Thanks! I am going to do a black Jag tomorrow and I plan on using the glaze on that also. First black car I will be trying it on to see how it stacks up against AIO and others.
I will be sure to put up some pictures. I will also post some pictures of a beautiful red Porsche GT2 I did last week but was unable to take any AFTER shots in the sun, too freakin windy that day and then the power went out for 2 hours:shocked
Here though are two pics of the car from inside the garage. Sorry they could not be in better light.

!!!!!!Anthony-I have a feeling early next week, any pics I'll be taking will be in garages....70's and low 80's to the 30's and 40s for temperatures. Ugh.
It was supposed to rain on Sunday when I detailed the Highboy and '55 T Bird and I was dreading having to take pics in a cramped garage of them. Luckily, the day turned out dry and sunny.
BTW, beautiful work on the Porsche. Care to divulge what you used on it?

Thanks Scott
and sure I shall reveal to all my plan of attack.
I last detailed this Porsche about 9 months ago and it was in decent shape when I got there, all cept for the front end. It was just plastered with dead bugs, really disgusting:scared
I used "Wheel Wash" on the wheels with an E-Z Detail brush to get the wheels nice and clean. Platinum's Tire Gel for dressing on the tires and Black Again on exterior trim.
The paint was clayed and had to be buffed with a rotary, mainly on the top surfaces, and then the Cyclo took over from there with Light Cut, Final Polish and then hit with Vanilla Moose and topped with Trade Secret.
I tried using that Diamondite glass stuff on the glass of this Porsche but that stuff is not all the great. Never use it again:down
Like I said earlier, I will try and post pictures of the Porsche out in the sun, if the doctor remembers toleave me the key.
Thanks again,
Anthony

Scott,
The Menzerna FP. I used the Cyclo with finishing pads and went very slow over small areas of the paint.
I really like the FP and the way it works BUT it can get gummy and sticky at times. Works nice by hand which is a big plus as much of the rear area on this Porsche had to be done by hand because of the rear tail and all.

Thanks for the clarification. BTW, you see the pics I got of the 32 Highboy and 55 Bird? Much more fun than doing my usual SUVs and even 7 series BMWs and S Class Mercedes get boring when you see them all the time. 
That Jag is ssssexy! Although for that much money ($80-$90k?) you would think Jaguar would make their convertible flush when open, when in reality you have this huge ugly cover on it.
Anyways, the 2 details look awesome. I can't wait to try my S100 on Silver.
That Porsche, jeeeeez. So hot...Now what is this Wheel Wash? Special Formula? Or sold on the market? Because even the inside of those wheels look mint and 9 months since the last detail, I'm sure they looked slightly cajun...hehe
Overall, very nice work! And you're a lucky guy that the Porsche owner will leave his keys out so you can take a pic

Explorer,
The Cyclo is an awesome tool and several clicks above a PC in terms of being aggressive. What I mean by this is that when you apply pressure to the PC it no longer oscillates but just vibrates while the Cyclo takes much more pressure before it begins to bog down. The Cyclo will actually build up some heat if allowed to stay stationary in a small area but not enough to burn paint.
The drawback is the cost, around $300 bills. They are worth every penny as I know own 2 and will soon buy a third if and when I hire another person come the New year. Thank you also for the compliments.
GSR,
Thanks for the thumbs up on the details
The Wheel Wash is from Top of the Line and is an excellant heavy duty cleaner or if cut with water becomes a great every wheel cleaner for everyday use. I use it on all my clients wheels EXCEPT aluminum. It can be used on aluminum if "sponged" on but never spray it on. I use a totally different wheel cleaner for aluminum, although clear coated aluminum will not be harmed by it.
Yeah the wheels were pretty nasty as can be seen in this BEFORE pic. Also the E-Z detail wheel brush is a HUGE help in getting all areas of the inside wheel clean.:xyxthumbs The outside of the wheel is clean but when he washes it he never cleans the inside:nixweiss
