Paint Restoration for Players Shows Jaguar XJR *Day In The Bay

[@murphman76]

This is testimony not only to the quality of Meguiar's, but also to Jaguar. The X308s had an 10-step priming/painting process (source: 1998 Jaguar brochure) that was most surely best-in-class...very generous with clearcoat (unlike most of today's models) which makes the finish quite "forgiving". I bought a 1-owner 2002 Vanden Plas with 45k miles, and spent 40 hours in my own multi-stage clay-bar/cleaner/polish/wax/sealer process (including Meguiar's products) with stunning results. I have classic show cars too, but the X308s have the best factory paint I have ever seen.

[@Majinvash]

Hi. Great videos, thanks. I have just bought a Mequiars MT320 and I will be having a go at polishing my car over the next few weeks. I have a question about the older wax that is on there. Once I have cleaned and clayed the car. Do I need anything additional to remove any old protection that is on there or will the act of polishing it, remove what is left ready for the new wax?

[@meguiarsuk]

No need to do any more additional removal after cleaning and claying. If you want to add a bit more extra deep cleaning ability during the wash process try the Wash Plus+

[@alankelly1542]

Really interesting that you can do a whole car with one pad. Lots of pro detainers recommend up to 9 or 10 pads. Are the Meguiars better suited to just using the one ? Amazing work by the way x

[@meguiarsuk]

As long as you keep the pad well maintained after each detail you can re-use them.

[@ChainsawChristmas]

You can certainly use one pad for a car (per product type). Blowing it vacuuming the pad is necessary, but swapping the whole pad is crazy. You'd waste a ton of product just priming pads.

[@SupercarSeany]

Most detailers are supremely ocd and probably use 3 different towels to dry after they shower so as to not contaminate.

[@photonatjag]

is that likely to suggest the car was re-painted at some stage?

[@iwannabentley]

@@photonatjag not necessarily the whole car, unless it's uniformly problematic on each panel, suggesting the same product was used at the same time. Bonnets are one of the first things that get painted regularly due to stone chips and bird shit. Because it's a big panel, people over load primers and topcoat creating a multitude of problems further down the line when the products deteriorate. Solvent pop and moisture bubbles are known common faults.

Question for you guys, I've seen the Meguiar's M699 Deep Crystal Top Coat on the shelves of the bay. Is that a Si02 maintenance spray/booster? If so, can it be used over any ceramic coating or does it just work with the M688 coating? Also, what's the durability like (6-8 months like most SiO2 sprays)? Sorry for the question bombing but can't find many info on this particular product. Recently found your channel while researching Meguiar's products.

[@MrFatdaz]

If you wanted to use the ceramic wax spray would you have to remove all polish first or can you apply it on top of the car as it is?

[@meguiarsuk]

So the Hybrid Ceramic Wax is to be put on when the car is wet after washing.

[@steeleyg225]

Great results... need a DA to do my car but its a bit pricey

[@Goldieboylazy88]

If you wanted to add a ceramic coating to the paint is that right after the wax or before?

[@AP-bb6fz]

Ceramic coating is added after polishing. There is really no need for wax if your car is coated. The coating will lose it´s hydrophobic qualities if you slap a layer of wax op top of it. If you plan to wax your car, might as well save the money and not put a coating on it. And if you put a coating on top of wax it will not even stick to your car. A car needs to be fully degreased before adding a wax or coating for it to stick as it should.

[@darren.a.b7400]

Great video

[@drewbale]

Do you use a smaller da for the tight areas like doors and windscreen surrounds

[@meguiarsuk]

No just a smaller head. so we go from 5 inch to 3.

[@drewbale]

So what pads do you use as meguires don't do a 3inch (75mm) pad only microfibre

[@meguiarsuk]

@@drewbale The 3 inch come are part of the drill attachment Da Power system. For smaller areas you can still get fantastic results using compound by hand.

What wheels are those? Would it fit x300?

[@recruitmentwebsites]

Would you put some form of bead protection over the finish?

[@meguiarsuk]

That's the wax's job! =D

[@recruitmentwebsites]

I am aware what wax does. From your website" A common misconception among some customers is that when the beading stops there is no longer any wax protection on the paint. This is not the case. Some waxes like our NXT Tech Wax 2.0 contain water-beading properties, but they do not last as long as the wax protection. So the beading may stop after a few weeks, but the wax protection lasts for many weeks after this." So the Wax can have a limited beading time, do your other products top up that beading time?

[@meguiarsuk]

@@recruitmentwebsites Absolutely. For example if you were to top up your NXT wax again with NXT the beading properties would go back to how it was before.

[@WSjumping]

Looked awesome at UD! ❤️

[@RJ-lk5pj]

My rule I stand by while waxing: after claying/compound & polishing is complete to my liking. I wax the panels with adequate amount of wax- NOT excessive. I can always go back and do another light coat to my liking. Wax the larger horizontal panels first, hood,roof & trunk. Then finish the other panels- leaving the bumpers and below the belt line in the panels last( from your knee height down on the doors I call belt line) these usually are areas of concerns. Before waxing below the belt line; above this area should be dried along with the larger panels done first off- remove wax Wax bumpers and below the belt. Take the vehicle in the sun and completely remove the wax from panels and trim. Open door jams- I typically spray them with a vinyl cleaner/conditioner prior to add to ease of removal of dried wax.

Way too much work involved in this process. I grew up detailing. My dad owned the first auto detail shop in Pasadena Ca...1966-2003. We did it all...Polish and Wax, Interior, Steam and Painted engines, overspray removal, color sanding etc...we did it all. HIGH lUSTER PRODUCTS are far better than Meguire's. Meguires is okay if you don't have access to professional-grade products. That buffer (if that's what you want to call it) looks like a 1500 rpm. To do the job correctly you need at least 2700 rpm. If you know what you are doing you don't need to tape the edges. Proper technique will leave no swirls, diapers... no cobwebs. Everything these guys use can be purchased over the counter. Non-pro products. Professionals use professional-grade products, equipment, and materials. I have a 2000 Jaguar XJR. The paint is 20 years old. I've probably polished it 4 times since new. It looks like it's just been sprayed. Never washed with soap. All I do is a wipe down with a wet cloth and then dry it with a dry one, occasional full rinse, and pro-grade liquid wax. I get it, most of you have no idea what a real Auto Detailer does because there are so few. It really is a skill. These guys are trying hard, but trust me they have no idea.
