Welcome to the Forum Dean :)

Hi joe. First clay your car to prep the surface and use tar remover . If money isn't to much of a concern I recommend Swissvax Onyx and Cleaner fluid regular. Next would be Wax Addict Vitreo/Quartz then IGL Premier Spray Silica I'll try to do a demo and buffing techniques video for the highest shine. Alternatively Glass Coatings such as IGL Quartz means it doesn't need polishing for 2 years but is professional install product. Attached is the Jaguar XF we coated in IGL Quartz Any Queries feel free to drop me a text or call (possibly text before with a suitable time to call back) on 07814167898

Hi Peter, Once again I apologise for the lateness of my reply. If you want to prep it you'll need. Bilt and Hamber clay IGL Precoat IGL Premier IGL Ecowash Premier is a spray on sealant. So every time you wash the car just do your first pass drying then spray premier onto the panel and use as a drying aid. Once the whole car is done buff the paint work for high shine. It's a 3 month protection. I'll try and do a topic on the many different types of protection. And ease of application

Hi Peter. So sorry for the delay we've had a big moved and relocation to scotland. Are you looking to detail yourself or a recommendation of a professional local detailer who can provide your car with Protective coatings?

and thank you Jim! Always happy to help with any inquiries.

Always use a seperate bucket solely just for wheels. if kneeling down if not the easiest remove the wheels to clean. make sure to torque to manafacture spec and support with axle stands.

its always good for new viewers to follow up on though. theres multiple different grades of clay. Clay clothes and "3M Clay" from ebay are to be avoided as they Mar the paint finish.

Hi Claws, yes its apart of Hydrophobics, including lipophobic and Oleophobic. the tighter and higher the bead the better the surface tension energy. meaning the hydrophobics are of a high level. Some coatings have Contact angles of 120 degrees meaning it will sheet off dry and not bead at the angle.

Hi All, I noticed there was a few inquiries over products, processes and general questions about cleaning and caring for your Jaguar. So i thought i would be a good opportunity to open a thread for Care Care and Detailing for all to ask any questions or queries for us to respond to. just a little info on myself. Im a Fulltime Professional Detailer, Multi Approved in the UK (Swindon) at RedGuard AutoSpa im always happy to help. any questions just fire away

i wasnt aware it was Supaguard you had done.

Swissvax and Furniture Clinic do restoration kits. Gliptone Leather Care is A Superb Cleaner but gentle as well. £15 for a full set including conditioner. award winning product

Hi Guys, Whats your budget and ideal thing you want to achieve from the products? anything cleaning or detailing related just ask away

Thats actaully a low surface energy tension meaning its hydrophobic qualities are low

Many Happy Returns! Happy Birthday Morgana!
