If I only had taken some befores, this red Jaguar had towel marks on every inch of the paint.







THe car was not compounded but polished with the cyclo 2X. Finally, a layer of Souvern was added. I guess you can say this is my quicker method of detailing a car as it saves much time had i done a cc compound, polish, followed by a sealer instead. Ok, I know the tires are not shiny but I did purchase a sample of EO and an applicator for the customer. Not to mention the $10 gas I wasn't reimbursed.:rolleyes:

A bit on the hazy side.



Any tips about how to polish better are appreciated.

Actually that design was introduced in 1995 model year, that's 5 years after Ford's purchase of Jaguar.
 
Beautiful! I can not tell that it is hazy from the picture. Some waxes are more reflective but this is a deeper gloss. I like it. I like the deeper gloss on the dark colors and the reflective can really pop on metallic paint.



It would be nice to have some input from others that use a different type wax on different paint surfaces and why?

Looks great!! That's a beauty right there! Question, is that an XJR?? The supercharged version of the cat??

That Mesh Grill And Painted Chrome Are Tell-Tale Signs Of Being A XJR, Most Colors Have The Painted Chrome, Some Dont.

I still think the car is a little hazy. For that reason only, I chose a Pinnacle caranuba over a synthetic sealer. Souveran seems to add a little richness and glow.



On this GMC I used a sealer. I thought the paint was a little washed-out so, I tried a Souveran topper and it did add a degree of richness, once again. In my experience, if a vehicle is hazy it can't hurt to add a little gloss. Unfortuneatly, in the end, the finish under all the wax is what really counts.

I too would relish some intelligent advice about variances in product selection and proper machine operation.

Ryan-



You recently posted a picture of that silver Acura, right? That car was incredible. Incredible. I can still picture it in my mind.
 
It's the first time I've seen the engine as well. I really like the way the hood swings open. Reminds me of my dads' 1965 convertible Corvette Sting Ray show car.



Nice of you to say so Dude. I can still remember what a great pice of a$$ it was.:wavey
