98' Jaguar Coupe

[joyriide1113]

This client was referred to me by a member of another forum. Client was not looking to spend too much on a full blown detail, so I worked with him and offered a One Step Polish to remove some swirls and brighten the paint. He also wanted his leather cleaned.

I was really really happy and surprised at how much correction the one step did. It made a huge difference and removed a lot more than I anticipated. The befores and afters clearly show the difference. I would've needed atleast 2-3 steps to fully remove all scratches and swirls.

I see that you have been using Optimum polish.
I have tried it a few times and haven't been getting the results I would like, but after seeing some of your work recently, I think I will give it a try again this year.

You are doing some pretty impressive work pn some pretty impressive vehicles. :drool:
I would probably do some of them for free just to be able to park them in my garage.

I notice one thing that I wondered about. You use ZAIO for your polish/cleaner/prep, but use several different LSPs rather than Zaino. Any particular reason?
Maybe using up some LSP overstock?

A very nice looking vehicle. I also like the color of the car.

What struck me the most was the interior shot. I really like the trim on the inside. It looks very luxurious. Is that real wood or faux wood?

Looked like faux wood in person.

I'm not head over heals with Zaino. I really just like the durabilty of all their products. Even their QD. When I add ZAIO as the base it makes my other favourite waxes or sealants (who don't boast great durabilty) last a bit longer and go on and off easier.

Joy.

joyriide113,

Very nice work on a very sexy car. I love these Jag Coupes, and I believe they will be a future classic here in the US where they were not that popular.

NO BREAKS NEXT TIME !!! He knows about your talent now and should pay for it accordingly !!!

Nice job !!!

Excellent work. You said a "one step product" but it looks to me like you used a lot products! I'm impressed that you applied PB wheel sealant too.

Really good work. Like other before, I love the car too!
