hello all! well its vintage to me haha. This was done for the same client who owns the jaguar I care for bi weekly. It belonged to his father and he was tired of the way it looked. It was oxidized throughout. I didnt get any before pics becuase the oxidation didnt really show. He wanted to wait on the interior so It was just exterior and engine today.

Engine:

Hi Temp APC 10:1 (let soak, then rinsed)
Dressed with #40
meguiars detailer line APC 10:1 to remove overall filth on paint work
agitate with several small brushes

My client was very happy and kind of shocked to see how well it turned out. Big thanks to pappy for coming up and hanging out today and for helping during the washing/claying process, and for taking a pic of me on my phone haha.

u out do u'reself sometimes. that gluck of filth in the corner of the engine bay was nasty. from the line of oxidation u pointed out it definately looks better. most people would probably assume that a car that old has probably been repainted.

good job greg

The oxidation is actually non existant any more on that car. It is hard to tell but it is like brand new paint. Thanks for the comments!

Very impressive. Breathed some new life into that thing. Looks much better. Very nice work. Great job! No wonder the client was happy with it.

But that trunk, it's big enough to hide jimmy hoffa in (did you look?).
