    Thanks in advance for looking!

    Here we have a Jaguar XFR in metallic black color. New regular customer that I have been doing some regular washes for but it was time to get the paint up a few notches. The car is very well taken care of so there wasn't any crazy prep needed to get the car clean and ready for polishing. If your wondering why the pictures are from two different locations it's because the car was prepped one day at the customers house and then I did the actual polishing at his work 2 days later. Car was still pretty clean just needed to do a quick ONR wipedown at his office.

    Process for this vehicle was:

    Wash - ONR
    Wheels - Sonax
    Tires/wheel wells - OPC dilution
    Front grill and plastic honeycomb grilles - OPC and swissvax brush
    Clay - Meguiar's Pro Blue clay/ONR clay lube dilution

    Paint correction - GG DA/Meguiar's D300/Cutting disc
    Polish - GG DA/Meguiar's 205/Green Uber
    IPA
    LSP - Collinite 845
    Glass - Wolf's Glass Guard
    Wheels - Wolf's Rim Shield
    Tires - Optimum Opti-bond

    wow, that looks really really good man! I'd be scared to polish after just a wipe down, also kinda odd you used M105 compound to finish down with, but you pulled it off it looks like!

    great work!

    Sorry thanks for catching that! 205, not 105!

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Metallic flakes really pop now.

    ONR + OPC are my two favorite products. So versatile and effective.

    That is nasty in such a good way! I knew when I seen all the flake in the before, that this car was going to be beautiful in the after!

    Thanks Franki

    Thanks. Same here...both are very good products!

    I've been using it for so long, I kind of judge it by eye depending on the need. For the wheel wells and tires it was probably around 5:1, water:OPC

    Thanks!

    In person it was pretty wild looking!

    Thanks...very good looking car, pretty good power as well!

    Thanks!
