Jaguar XF - Red metallic with SV Crystal Rock

Jaguar XF 2008 model



Got in a beautiful red Jag a couple of weeks ago. The paint was fairly nice but some rds's and the ordinary swirls was of course present:








Licence plates removed prior to washing:


Scholl Crack 9000 in arches:


Scholl Spam on the exhaust:


The cannon was filled up with a mixture of CG Green clean and Maxi suds, which made the container brown:


P21S on the rims (old version with the familiar smell):








A little video from the wash and then some:
YouTube - Jaguar XF intro

Thought of using this series this time... perhaps:


The doors was polished with 3M EF and yellow pad. The lower parts needed some extra bite and was done with a couple-three passes with scholl S03G on yellow scholl pad:


B-pilar got the same treatment.. forgot about the after pics..lol:


Front fender:


Also some rds's there:


used to be:


The hood was in such a condition that some heavier stuff was needed there.. S03 Gold on yellow pad. The paint on this one was fearly sticky and needed water-priming of the pad regulary to prevent the heavy cut products clogging up:


Some holos after an intensive round of rds removal.. Used a 75mm pad for the rds's and here's the results after that:


S03G and yellow 75mm:






Some 50/50:




Almost done:








Did a middle step with Scholl S30 and finished of with 3M UFSE:




The results after the correction was about 95%+, something I was fairly pleased with After polishing the car was taken out and Menzera Top inspection was sprayed on and a rinse down was done to remove polish residue and leftovers:


Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro was applied prior to waxing:


Waxtime:






Some forgotten detailes that had to be done before the lid got some of Anwanders special blend:






One lucky winner of buffing of the wax:


While Jorgen was removing the wax I did an extra round on the rims:


P21 again, 10 minutes on the rims, rinsdown and wheel brush, CF by hand followed by SV Autobahn:


All glass got treated with Nanolotus Protection Pro:






Interior was cleaned with SV Leather Cleaner and treated with Leather milk:


SV Wood polish/wax:


Almost ready for pick up.. Of other details that was done I could mention door hinges polish and treated with wax, Pneu on tires, Bare Bones in arches, Green clean on dash followed by Scholl Purple 9000, Seel Feed ++++++. Time spent in total aprox 30hrs:


Some finished photos as well

Thanks for watching

 

excellent job

 

Very nice work sir! I think you have succesfully mastered making a video that both shows us what work you did, and action parts of the most important bits. No time wasting with extended intros, or long scenes. EXCELLENT!

One thing that annoys me to no end is a video of just pictures in sequence to music. POINTLESS. I can scroll through pictures must faster than looking at the stupid videos.

Thanks again, cracking work!

 

Great Job on the car. I've said it before, You do really nice work.
Also, You've got the nicest head of hair I've ever seen. Thats just not fair...

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comment.. Done a couple of those slideshow videos before, but the one you see here is all live stuff

 

Thank you, much appreciated

lol about the hair.. It's been removed now as it's back to normal work:afro:

 

Great car and great detail!!

 

Nice work. You do some good cars and nice write-ups.

 

Came out excellent ... you do outstanding work!

 

Dude, I wait for your details, just with as much excitement as I wait for new episodes of Top Gear (new season starts in September)! Simply amazing work, I really enjoyed it!!!:mounty:

 

Great job on that!

 

Thanks Might give your products a try in 2011, but a little hard to get hold of here in Norway though..

Thank you, try to put a little bit of effort in the write-ups and spend about an hour doing finished photos as well

Thanks, very nice to hear

Very nice complemet .. Postet a new one now, and have a couple more in the near future

Thank you, much appreciated

 

Awesome work, pictures, and videos.

Keep the videos coming, they are fun to watch, have nice camera work and editing. Maybe we will see you at the Cannes Film Festival in the future.

 

Thank you.. Pretty sure you won't see me there mate The editing is the really hard part about the videos.. Just have to settle on one editorial software soon. Been switching between pinnacle and adobe now, but the future is in adobe
