Roadtrip to Raleigh - 2007 Jag XJ8L and 2006 MV Agusta Brutale

[imported_weekendwarrior]

Last fall, a gentleman in Raleigh contacted Todd Helme through F-chat, because he was purchasing a Testarossa, and wanted a referral for a detailer in his area. Todd was kind enough to give him my name and number. Well, the Testarossa purchase fell through, as several issues were discovered during purchase inspections. The client then decided to buy his next favorite car, a Jag XJ8L, and a MV Agusta Brutale motorcycle. If you aren't familiar with the MV Agusta Brutale, it is a very rare bike. Ferrari had a hand in its design, and it shares the same Rossa Corsa paint.

I did an ONR wash on the painted surfaces, and Polished with the G110v2, Orange pad, and M105 - 2 passes. I then followed up with M205, white on the G110v2. The bike was then foamed and rinsed. I then proceeded to do a 2 bucket wash, dried with the leaf blower, dried with a towel, and applied CMW for protection.

Both look terrific, but that black Jag.... :drool:

I've seen that car around Raleigh, guess I missed out on this detail.



They both look great.

Stunning work on both David! The paint on the XJ8L is outstanding. Love the interior too. Great talking to you today as usual.

Beautiful work!



I shed a tear every time I see an XJ on the road these days, knowing they are no more. I'm sorry, I realize Jaguar has to evolve, but the XF and the new XJ are not Jaguar.

Excellent work on both!:2thumbs:



That is a neat looking bike.

I was ready to hate on the Jag versus the Testarossa but I just can't. I've alway s had a thing for those cars.



Great job on the details too. Bike are a pain in the butt to detail I find.
