Hi,

This Jaguar XJ was brought to Invisible Touch after having his XK detailed by us last year. Lets have a quick walk around the car after its arrival...

[Image: DSC06276.jpg]

[Image: DSC06277.jpg]

[Image: DSC06278.jpg]

[Image: DSC06279.jpg]

So, first off was to remove the alloys to allow them to be cleaned and sealed

[Image: DSC06281.jpg]

As previously with the owners XK, the hubs were painted black, and calipers red. These areas were cleaned with a wire brush

[Image: DSC06282.jpg]

[Image: DSC06283.jpg]

The alloys were then cleaned with Bilberry, tyres with APC. The alloys were then wiped down with IPA and sealed with Poorboys

[Image: DSC06284.jpg]

[Image: DSC06285.jpg]

[Image: DSC06289.jpg]

[Image: DSC06292.jpg]

Hubs and calipers painted, starting on the front

The car was then taken outside to be snow foamed and washed via the 2 bucket method using shampoo plus. After this the car came back inside to be clayed and remove bonded contamination. This was minimal with only a few thousand miles and also having been recently clayed by the owner

After being washed again, the car came back inside

Starting with the passenger wing i proceeded to carry out a stage 1 paint enhancement with the Makita rotary. Using the old school Meguiars #80 and a 3M polishing pad and backing plate. Producing this

Once all machine polishing was complete, Lime Prime Lite glaze / pre-wax cleanser was applied

[Image: DSC06638.jpg]

The paintwork was finished with Victoria Concourse Wax as the customer owns this and enjoys using it

[Image: DSC06641.jpg]

Tyres were treated with Endurance Tyre Gel

[Image: DSC06643.jpg]

The glass was polished using 3M Glass Cleaner, exterior plastics and door/boot seals with Bumper Care, exhausts polished with NXT, the interior was hoovered and dusted, polished or chrome areas inside had finger prints removed and polished with a microfibre, the leather was wiped down and treated with Gliptone Conditioner

[Image: DSC06697.jpg]

[Image: DSC06699.jpg]

Finally the front grill, wasnt looking too good

[Image: DSC06700.jpg]

So was also polished. I lost count on the number of holes, but there were a few Smile

[Image: DSC06701.jpg]

The owners leather service book was completed and these were the final pictures

An excellent job, on an iconic marque.

Superb work that is! Really excellent job.

I thought exactly the same, saw the first few pics and thought that looks pretty good. Stunning work as always, black must be quite satisfying to work on as the change can be so dramatic.
