Jim. Having owned one of these for 8 years a few pointers if you don’t mind. 1. The boot loom cables are stretched in normal operation. You can set the boot not to open fully. 2. Be careful washing the rear arches. The air vents in the rear bumper/wheel arch are known to come unglued and lead to the spare wheel flooding. There’s a fuse box in the rear offside , if that gets damaged it’s v expensive. 3. The washer bottle is in front offside wing. Check the wiring , water is known to wick up the wiring into the front fuse box and causes real serious issues. There are various fixes to keep these areas safe.

[@SerenaBluee]

Commenting to boost this up.

[@jasonphillips3865]

Excellent tips 👌

[@tonyford7987]

Not known the boot loom in the sportbrake to fail🤔. Water can her into the the Rear junction box on the offside . Had mine for 3 yrs with none of the listed issues. Leather on the top of the door cards can have the glue fail leading to it going baggy.

[@jotighe2]

I had that exact issue with the spare wheel flooding.

[@garrytalbot3456]

@@tonyford7987 I’ve had 3 all on warranty!

[@iain3915]

I loved this. It's so refreshing to watch you bringing a real world used purchase up to your standard - please please continue to make videos on the interior, engine bay, machine polishing (and anything else). Thank you :)

[@jotighe2]

I enjoyed this one. because it's yours. in this one, you were one of us, on a different level than before. just a dude out there detailing his own car. the best part is hearing what you're planning to do with it in the future. just like we do.

[@jotighe2]

truth is, I enjoy them all.

[@peterkalanyos]

A mini series about bringing back the car to a life would get a warm welcome if you ask me. Somehow I'm utterly excited watching this neglected cat turning into a beauty.

[@ashleymargerrison8190]

The luxury of washing your car in a secluded spot where you can take your time without the curtain twitchers standard comments "you can do mine next" or "washing it again? you'll wear the paint out!"

[@shootermcgavin6105]

Jesus christ, its my dream hands down to have a spot out of view to wash my cars. I must say though, I now wear my large over ear headphones when I'm on my drive doing my thing, and it makes it painfully obvious that I don't want to stop and be spoken to.

[@ajmtank191919]

When i get a new car home the first thing i want to do is clean and get rid of the previous owners grime....i want to be able to take my time like this amd be methodical in my approach.....but that face soon peers over the hedge....”washing it already?!” Its so frustrating and it think headphones are a must 🎧

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

So right. Did some machine polishing for first time the other week on the drive. Had nosey neighbour over in minutes to see what power tool I was using on my car. OK for her to use power tool on her hedge.... At least she doesn't suggest I wash her car for her.

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

@@ajmtank191919 Mine was clean when I picked it up but couldn't wait for first wash to start to get to know the car, and for it to become mine rather than a second hand car I'd just taken over.

[@ajmtank191919]

@@WestfieldFreshAir its the only way you get to know where all the dents and chips are. Best thing about a new second hand car is that first clean 🧽 taking everything apart, vacuuming steam cleaning polishing....hopefully without the need to explain to next door why its taking you 5 days to clean your new car.

[@SanHolo92]

We definitely need a mini series on this please!

[@jhras]

What a beautiful car. Especially in red. It would be awesome to see a full interior detail of those red seats 👌

[@tonyford7987]

They are a pain to keep clean but look great.

[@ecan533]

Hopefully the previous owner watches this and you demonstrate how to look after a car. Well done for making it a project, without a doubt it will look amazing once you’ve done your magic!

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

There's zero chance of previous owner watching these videos if that was his idea of cherished.

[@1881Gordon]

@@WestfieldFreshAir LOL. I think you have a good point there, although, to be fair that previous owner should be strapped to a chair and forced to watch - might learn a thing or two. It is a great looking car though. No question.😊

[@dave2166]

Great to see the great White Details using Garage Therapy products..... Decon Quick Detailer And Tyre Serum....

[@anthonywhite721]

The question is will the Jaguar be a purchase like the Volvo was three years ago. The jaguar is not a patch on the bmw but I remember watching the videos of you cleaning the bmw and if I remember it was clean but not Jim white clean and the Volvo was in the same condition as the jag green moss tar all over the car and very dirty but still in weeks to come we will all see this beautiful English rose look beautiful.

[@Zodiam.]

Garage queen.. my E39 winter daily has less damage and half the gunk.. hope you got a good deal out of that but at the same time watching a really dirty car come back to life is more fun. Keep up the good work and have a great summer Jim!

[@edamnaf9265]

Jim, your work is stellar......I always enjoy watching these.

[@subarufreakdd]

Congrats on the New daily. Looking forward to the series

[@hakinen4000]

amazing what a good wash and attention to detail can do for a neglected vehicle. Can't wait to see the full correction on it. Great job Jim

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Talk about a "blank check" detail!! 😅 No doubt you will bring that vehicle back to life!! 100% 💎

[@PeterEss]

Need to have an owner reaction from Jim himself when it’s all sorted 😆

[@mich6425]

Wow you have inspected every bit of the car. Amazing work. The Jaguar is stunning will turn heads when you're done.

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

Lovely car. It takes a few washes etc before a car feels more like your own in my experience. It's going to look great after the bits of paint are sorted and your magic is applied.

[@andrewstock6422]

Bought mine, after a similar move from a 325d touring. The top rails are a massive dirt trap. The small window rear door seals will fall out with just light pressure as well, and are a pain to fit back in. But it’s a more relaxing place to do long journeys in, and the stereo sounds a lot better than a standard BMWs. Currently on 180k miles and it drives very well.

[@shrkys4]

Really enjoy the metamorphosis these cars go thru in your videos…dig the music, mellow and relaxing

[@_MD80]

I would have loved to have seen more of this one

[@RedXcz]

Neat trick jacking the car up for wheel, arch and caliper access! Never thought of it haha.

[@alexthewheelers]

On the number plate tape application - I would recommend putting vertical strips rather than horizontal. If you do horizontal the water sits for longer and causes it to come unstuck more quickly, also means rubbish sits behind the plate more easily, whereas vertical it generally washes out better.

[@T29RAG]

Nice first wash Jim, similar progress videos are a good idea

[@Andyuk911]

TBH, this is at a level that most people call clean, but the previous owner was having a laugh ! Some great gun technique :)

[@CarsofGlasgow]

love the XF Sportbrake, looks so sleek and fresh!

[@richardkay1587]

Love that colour!! I had the X260 XF saloon in Italian racing Red. God I miss that car!! :)

[@md-detailing]

ic Love the XF S Sportbrake,the color and interior color combo is just amazing! :D

[@stevesvids]

I notice with every process you do that it is planned, methodical, orderly, precise, and surgical like. Just how I like to work. 🙂👍 Keen to see how you tackle the area of lacquer peel.... as my daughters VW has the same on her front plastics, caused by a £1 shop bodyshop repair. All the best. Have a good week. 🙂👍👋

[@rmnds]

Glad to see it's not just me finding it painful cleaning the windshield from the inside. 😄

[@gav25x]

Quite therapeutic to watch 👍

[@bisi_g8776]

Your work is so thorough. It´s amazing. I love watching you.

[@leshernandez8577]

I just learned something watching this video that the License Plates in The UK don't use Screws to bolt on like here in The States. Love Always Your Meticulously Attention to The Smallest of Things/Details. Love The New Jaguar, I Too Love The Sports Wagons.

[@simundos]

Great video Jim. Inspiration for us mortals to follow at home and some fantastic tips too. Am so grateful for your content, its led to much a more discerning eye when evaluating cars and prevented me from buggering up my own paintwork. 🍻

[@benrambow144]

Love seeing a basket case! Generally everyone who books with you has a better starting point but this was truly a labor! I can’t imagine pouring yourself into this beauty and not getting attached. Good luck with the sale of the BMW!

[@duncanmann553]

Surprised, but glad you purchased the Jaguar. As the Premier Detailer in my opinion on KZbin, I enjoy watching a unloved car get the best care. Look forward for more Jim.

[@colinnapier6662]

Incredible difference with a good wash, really looking forward to seeing the difference once full correction and polish has taken place. Amazing someone put that car up for sale in the condition it was in.

[@EG3HC]

I love these videos, cars owned by the pro himself 👍🏻 how the seller thought they could get away with listing it as they did when it’d obviously been parked under a tree and never given a proper wash 🤔 looks SO much better now and can’t wait for the next instalment 👍🏻

[@davidewart5524]

Brilliant video and you should have a award for being so precise, I'd love to know what you used ie: soap's, washing products and polishes, I have a xf sportbrake in polar white. Again great video.

[@dad_details2118]

Fantastic Mr White. Looking forward to seeing further progress on the new wagon

[@azza1793]

That is a very nice looking car in a gorgeous colour, good choice

[@mrlionrocks]

Man, they the way u wash a car, really revs my engine 🥰

[@diydetail8916]

looks a fantastic car now looking forward to the updates!

[@lexist2112]

Another great episode!!! Your “basic wash” is far superior than your average car owner would do. They would take it to the wash n scratch or a bucket of dish soap and a sponge and call it a day. Keep up the quality work your techniques are the best…I’m learning from you

[@chr1sd26]

Cleaning the windows after you poured your heart out into the exterior is a task !

[@1881Gordon]

That is a really nice car... One thing for sure. That Italian Racing Red is beautiful in the flesh, so I cant wait to see how it looks after a full blown 'White Detail' correction & coating... Nice video 👍🏻

[@jodanbowers2871]

Different car just from a wash 🤩

Best wishes for the new car!

[@russellhayward2359]

Lovely first wash 😀 mini series would be a most welcome watch in the future 👍

[@gorgoneion]

Above 2-3 meters, it s all ready look very fine.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Cool new car Jim. Love that unique color too! Enjoy

[@fdu6]

Oh, man. Been there, done that. You buy a car that seems appealing and it's potentially the car you've been after for a while, so you really want it. Upon finding an example, you realize it's simply not up to your standard. You take it home thinking you've struck a bargain and, after closer inspection, you find more scratches, missing paint, interior damage, even mechanical problems. To bring it up to your standard then, you would have to put in inordinate amounts of work, time and money and it might simply not be worth it. At least that's been my experience. I'm not trying to be a downer, simply hoping to save some heartache to those out there just starting out on their journey of being proud car guys.

[@tedwhitehall2540]

A sign that you are getting older Jim, Golf clubs, Jaguar lol. Nice work mate.

[@mutatedgenome]

The new ride looks nice Jim. Red with black wheels is one of my favorite combos. While you were washing, every bit of the cars surface was flat other than the windshield. It beaded water like it had a coating applied.

[@granularautospa3802]

I definitely enjoy this one,I look forward to the exterior polish and interior detailing and and the choice of ceramic-coated

[@johnp9235]

Goodride... says it all. I love the forst clean of a new to me car

[@andybailey8417]

Lovely car Jim, I have a 2013 XF sportbrake in IRR, just a heads up under the rear bumper a mountain of dirt gets trapped. Please make a series bringing this up to scratch.

[@lucasbuchanan6939]

Hello from NZ. That basically looks like a facelift Holden Commodore VE/VF Wagon from Australia.

[@greig8376]

love the car and looked at these before buying a 5 series. Mini series sounds like a great idea too! look forward to future videos.

[@mcooke999]

Lovely car Jim, one of my favourite estate cars in the best colour in my opinion. Absolutely gorgeous... I'd definitely look forward to a mini series showing the detailing progress if you manage to do one 😁

[@Ozzcaddy]

Advertising as a clean loved car, to really find how it has been taken care of is just false advertising, for the purpose to get people to see it and negotiate or haggle to a lower price than advertised. If the same is occurring in England as it is in Australia, where used cars are being sold at a price higher than a new car. The reason being in Aust. a 12 month or more delay in delivery of a new car. Just shows the transition of what the car can look like after a few hours of basic car washing techniques. Enjoyed the video.

[@JohnSmith-iz7lp]

Looking forward to future episodes on this 👍

[@AdamAus85]

Goodride tyres. Good sign, lol. I saw a model Y the other day with Winrun tyres. Maybe I'm just a tyre snob, but I'm sure a lot of enthusiasts understand.

[@neiltaylor62]

That was probably washed by the last owner before you turned up but because of you excellent standards looks like not been touched for a year but even after the video looks twice the car looking forward to next video when the polisher comes out. Beautiful motor Jim good choice 👍

[@thomastim1097]

Good JOB !!

[@bernardodejong8080]

I’ll bet this car has never seen a garage in his life, garage queen pff the audacity, it’s an ogre. And it will take a hell of a lot more than just a kiss. This car is gonna love you for sure and will see glory again 👍

A high end luxury car like this on budget tyres = alarm bells 🧐

[@grenphelps7455]

Went to see one of these, metallic blue, but I was disappointed with the small boot, surprising really as in the reviews they looked like a good size, didn't bother, bought a Mercedes c class AMG line instead, much happier 👌👌

[@ibbykhan942]

I miss mine, it's a great car

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

This Jag will look better than ANY other Jag that would be in a showroom. Full stop.

Holy moly I know you told me it wasn't that clean when you picked her up but wow, that was a terrible state. Looks great now :) Optional Jaguar wheel nuts too. I like it.

[@spyder_man]

Hope you got it for a good price Jim, good looking bus. Previous owner did not really look after it.

[@paultaylor9652]

To the previous owner it probably was cherished especially being serviced by the Jaguar stealerships, but to your standards it was very neglected cosmetically Jim, you can see the potential of it looking a very nice Jaguar now Jim.

[@paultucker1272]

That's a nice looking car Jim, congratulations! It certainly needed some "White love" though. Looking forward to more videos on this one :)

This is what i love to see! To me it is a struggle to keep my daily driver in good shape. Where do you set the bar on your daily driver?

[@nourizakaria642]

dont worry about it, just detail it when you wanna sell it, you can only polish it so many times

[@MrCanadiandad]

Would like to see an updated video of this Estate assuming you still have it. Interior, paint correction, wheels refurbished, upgraded anything??

[@MrCanadiandad]

Thanks Jim for reading my comment in one of your latest videos. Sorry I had not heard that you have sold the Jag Estate. But VERY happy with your replacement vehicle for it! LOVE the BMW Estate much more that the Jag. Well done. Watching your PPF Prep Part 1 video of it now. Thanks for all your content.

[@MuminWROC]

at least winshield was protected :P

I like the looks of the BMW over the Jag. Especially the rims. Are you keeping the Volvo too Jim? I am happy for the Jag because it will now get the cleaning and detail it deserves though. Great video Jim.

I assume the garage didn't have a roof?! Mind you, can you imagine selling a car and describing it as being in good condition with good paintwork, and then Jim turns up? "Ah damnit" lol

[@Badger66]

Really enjoyed this... what's the attachment you use for low pressure on your gun?

[@Gefkin]

Very nice 👌

[@weepz]

I wish I had the confidence to jet wash my door jams! Why do I feel the interior of the car would just get soaked? I mean surely you must get some water inside the car?
