THE Mook Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Good Afternoon! The client reached out to the Adam's Detailing Studio via an email inquiry. His Jaguar was in need of a really good exterior detail, and I was the man for the job. This detail took care of decontamination of the paint, swirl and water etching removal, of course the wheels/tires/engine/exhaust tips, sealing the Glass, and last but not least, I was able to install the "FaceMelter" on this baby when it was done! Here is what it looked like upon arrival: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 One more quick before picture...Notice caked up old polish and wax? I started the Wheels and Tires portion with Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner, all the while testing some Made in the USA, eco-friendly, Nitrile type gloves! Once the DWC was shot over the entire wheel, I moved into the cleaning of the tires and wheel wells. Adam's APC was up for it. It was then time to start on actual cleaning of the wheels and to stop the bleeding! The Medium head wheel woolie was perfect. Once the wheel was clean, back to the APC and Tires...this time the Fender Brush was used because I didn't want to potentially scratch the wheel having minimal sidewall. Not bad clean, still needed polished and dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 With the corners of the car complete, I could then focus on the Engine Bay. APC all the way! I used the Boulder Blonde Boar's Hair Brush for a majority of the scrubbing. After the wash, and with the car dried off, it was time to dress the Tires with Adam's SVRT before I polished the wheels. While polishing the wheels with the Adam's Metal Twins, I noticed that by sticking a the Detailing Swab inside of a Metal Polishing Towel, it enabled me to get into those lug pockets! THAT is proper.

THE Mook Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 With a majority of the "details" out of the way, it was time to concentrate on the paint. In this case, I really had my work cutout. Let's have a Test Patch! One pass didn't get me happy enough with the Adam's Paint Correcting Polish. Nothing against the polish, the paint was THAT BAD. It took me overall two passes of the Adam's PCP and one pass of the Adam's PFP to get me happy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Notice two things in this picture. I taped off and used Adam's Great White Towels to mask the convertible top from my polishing. I didn't want to clean anything out of it. You will also notice that the "hips" of the car in this picture are really, really dulled up. Deck lid was horrible also. Outside! THIS is a Great shot! All of the water etching and swirls gone... Thank You for stopping in! Redbeard and omegaman1978 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificNWBuckeye Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Pretty sweet, though I prefer the XFR or the new F-Type. I do love that color and the afters on the wheels, they look like jewels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
