Jag XK - Metallic Black

[Dan_]

Hey guys,

This was Mondays job, ive been slack lol.

2 Stage polish finished in Dodo Orange Crush. Odd choice you may be saying, well i dont have enough scuderia left for a job this size so i went the dodo. Its a very clear wax and looks great IMO. Was a nice car to work on. The clear wasnt hard but it wasnt soft either. Aluminum body which is cool. Very thin paint in areas, as low as 75 microns, which i found odd.

Anyway enjoy!

After - I like working outside when there is a bit of sun as you get to see true results. The thing shows everything lol Plus you get awesome flake shots!

Hmmm...they don't last forever though....5 hours is a long time....;)

5 hours is a long time....;)

:lmao: ... didn't they used to say that when you buy a Jag you need to buy 2, that way you can drive one while the other one is being fixed.
