2004 Jaguar S-type

Hi everyone,

As some of of you may have seen, I posted in the product application forum, as I had some questions about which pads to use for which products etc – for my first time using a DA!

I don't have as many photos during the different steps as I'd like, after watching them I realize it's more before-after but I hope you enjoy them anyway :grin:

These are some quick before photos, they were also in that other thread I mentioned:

A nice hit and run:

These were the products I used:

Slick&Suds
APC
SSR2
SSR1
Pro Polish
PwC Blue
Black Hole
EX
Bold&Bright
QD+
Leather cleaner from Turtle, when the bottle's empty I think I'll expand my collection by getting PB LeatherStuff
Dodo RedMist
Leather airfreshener
Lusso Glass Polish
AutoFinesse Citrus Power
Natty's Red
Lare EPL-41 DA polish

Before the wash:

some nasty bird dropping here and there

Weird oxidation (?) stripe down the left side of the hood, pleased to say it is GONE now due to some SSR2/SSR2/Pro Polish magic :grin:

Apart from the normal dust and road grime I try to keep it in pretty good shape (often washing with Slick&Suds etc)

Part 2 (photo limit...)

Already looking much better the washing!

All taped up, this is after SSR2 (orange Flexipad) and SSR1 (yellow Flexipad)

Looking good so far!

I am so impressed with the Pro Polish! Love that product!

PwC blue:

EX hazing up nicely:

Nearing the end

I am so happy with the result, love the products! I still have some minor scratches around, but they were too big a deal for SSR2, will have to step it up a little bit next time

Hope you enjoyed the photos

Turned out great. That was a lot of work to get it to this point, but now it will be so much easier to keep in this condition.

After a wash you can give it a quick shot with PwC and it will bring back the pop again.

nice work Jakob ... yes, some scratches will not only need a stronger attack, but may also need a stronger machine at times

Wow! Impressive before/after delta. That Jag is is absolutely gorgeous! Nice work!

Thanks guys!

I just bought the Super Slick & Wax. Would a wash with this and PwC after, be a good combo?

Yeah I figured, but as of now, I am really comfortable with the stuff i have available, so i won't sweat it too much

Thanks, I am really satisifed with the result!

I use the SS&W for washing and in my foam cannon, Works great.

Might not need PwC each time, but you will get to the point of that just detailed look that PwC gives the paint, you might find yourself doing every time :smt023
