Jaguar XK8 correction (the big cat purrs)

I flyer dropped this customer after seeing the car and thought i could do some work on the Xk8, i thought it was grey but it was black that how bad the paint was. the car was less than 12 months old a ex demo car with big discount, im not suprised when you see the state of the paint. I spent 2 days around 22 hours on correction using a mixture of 3m and gtechniq's P1 polish, i finished off with blackfire sealent.

A few more working progres pics the passenger door turned out really well considering the heavy swirl marks,looked like they were caused by a auto car wash gone wrong maybe the wheel brush slipped up to far. The grill took a total of around 30mins to polish.

Excellent work!!, looks like automated car wash marring from hell......hopefully the client will have you do maintenance work in the future to avoid the issue from coming about again.

Have those exact "Piloti's" as well but will not wear them on the job as I do not want to mess them up.

Your brought it back to life, much better. Yes, an exo demo car even without looking at it asks for a proper detail.
