Hi Julie, Nice, very nice 👍

Hi, Most of the cost is due to all the pre coating preparation of the paint. Snow foam, rinse, Contact Wash, rinse, dry, fallout remover, rinse, dry, clay bar, rinse, dry, inspect with light, measure paint thickness, machine polish, panel wipe, light inspect, finish polish, inspect, panel wipe...then finally apply the coating of your choice to the paint. Then consider the prep of the wheels (off the car), lights and glass with their coatings and it all adds up to a lot of time. And whilst you're getting all that done, you may as well add in cleaning and protecting your engine bay, trim and tyres. NB. The above is a proper job. Or, you could do it all yourself. It isn't rocket science......honest.

No worries, nice cars the 3.0 s aren't they.

Hi Stuart, Looks to me as though the Designer Edition is a one off produced for a charity event. And if that’s not enough, the winning bidder also received a one-off Owner’s Portfolio that will certifies the uniqueness of the ‘Designer Edition’ was a true on-off model, while also and providing some insight into Ian Callum’s choices in specifying the car. It also includes a bespoke sketch drawn and signed by the man himself. Jaguar F-Pace Designer Edition Jaguar's director of design Ian Callum recently created a unique F-PACE for charity. https://www.topspeed.com/cars/jaguar/2017-jaguar-f-pace-designer-edition-ar175435.html

No worries John, With the right tools/products, its not a difficult job to accomplish. Cheers

Thank you all for your kind comments. Hi John. I used Bilt Hamber (BH) Surfex HD at 10% dilution in a pump action spray bottle with a small amount of BH auto wash to help with foaming. This was sprayed over a cold engine and agitated with about 8 different types/styles of brushes. When clean, the engine was gently rinsed off using a shower pattern from a garden hose nozzle. It was then blow dried using a Bigboi blower. Once dry it was lightly sprayed with Aerospace 303 protectant and wiped down with a few, The Rag company, microfiber cloths. To aid dying the blower was used again. All painted surfaces within the engine bay were then decontaminated with fallout remover, clay barred, degreased with 8% Isopropyl and coated with BH double speed wax.

Waxoil, I wouldn't, but Bilt Hamber is awesome. Use S50 in box sections, UB where you don't mind the final coating being black and UC where you do, as UC is transparent.
