This car had just been purchased about a month prior to this job. It was a CPO car that only had ~5000 miles. However even though the car was so new, the paint had signs of improper washing. This car got a two-step polish, which removed 99% of the scratches. also some small touch-up work was done to a few nicks around the driver's door handle. total time was about 28 hours. and just to make it better, you gotta love south florida's winter! a nice 75 degrees!

And here's a 50/50 on the hood after 1 pass with SIP on the orange pad. one of my halogens shorted out!!!!!! so i had to work with only 1! Finished! Thats all for that car! Thanks for looking! Dom
Looks great, Jaguar paint is a pleasure to work on. Not the biggest fan of cocaine wheels normally, but that actually looks quite good!
very nice job sir. not a fan of jags, but that is one nice looking car! (you'd think for a car of that stature they might figure out a little bit of a better idea than that huge hideous antenna.
Gorgeous vehicle wow, it looks like a Aston Martin...that 50/50 picture looks incredible well done :applause: :applause: Oh but what is this, are my eyes seeing correctly is this an antenna :shead: ???? That can't be an antenna...can it? I'm referring to that metal rod sticking up??
Beautiful job Dom. I've got a client with the same car in dark green. Guess they didn't have any really big antennas available ,eh?
:headbang: Thanks! thanks! thanks! yea that's the camera. im going to get a better lens soon. thanks! i was actually talking to the customer about this... he said it's a "british trademark" :crasy: thanks! however unfortunately it is an antenna... :shead: thanks! i guess they had to opt for the smaller ones :doh:
