Little Flashback, Jaguar XJ8 detail

[KD00LS]

As I was detailing the inside of a Jaguar XJ8 yesterday, I had a flashback to the LS. I know the Jag is much nicer, but with the height of the vehicle and the setup, brought me back to the LS. I'm starting to miss that car. Here's the detail though!

Process

Exterior
CG CWC
Wheel Brightener (saved my life)
Sonus Green Clay
Meg's Blue Clay
Amazing Dryer
Diluted (20:1+) FK425 for lubrication (rubbing my nipples across the paint)
Duragloss 501 to clean up some water spots
Hyper Dressing Full Strength (I'm a sucker for shine and gloss)
Meg's APC +

Interior
ADS Arnold Leather Brush (Sheds, first time use might be why, but works great)
Zymol Leather (OTC brand, like it much more than Lexol)
303 Aerospace Protectant
Surf City Garage Clearly Better Glass Cleaner

LSP
Jetseal x1
Lusso Oro x1 (Thanks Pete!)

On to the pictures...

Not so maintained

Wheels SUCKED!

Trunk lid before 501 "correction"

Dirty leather

Now on to the afters....

Thanks for looking!

wheel brightener and chemically treated water saved my life when it came to detailing. No more water spots at all........

I hear that. I wanna get the CR Spotless system but it's $$$.

Nice Jag!! My LS is the same color, or close to it. The only thing that your jag has that I wish my ls has is a tan interior (mine's gray) but I can deal with that for what I paid.

Nice work Kyle. I really like Lusso on darker paints.

and thearchaic, that's not his jag. He does professional detailing on the side.

That looks great! The wheels look brand new~!

Thank you sir. Jetseal actually gave it most of its look. I only topped it because I told the owner I was going to do two layers. Lusso is awesome though.

Nice job man! Hey you sold your LS? I didn't know.

I wish I had a decent detailer near me that I didn't need a second mortgage to use.
