I only did a small test spot using the Orange pad and 105 and decided not to use it

I do not. After this last job I been seriously thinking about getting a gauge. Any recommendations on a quality gauge that won't break the break? I do this as a side job

What's the reserve price?

Just read Mike Phillips write up on single stage vs clear coat. Definitely sounds like a single stage paint issue on the white pads....but on a 2004 Jaguar? Strange

Just did a quick Google search. The paint did not have metallic so the code may be "1807, pce" http://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/jaguar/2004/xj/

2004 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas. I did wash and clay the vehicle thoroughly prior to starting paint correction. I use Griots clay and Speed Shine. Wash/clay is my standard procedure just to put that out there. I will get the vin code an do some research for sure. That's a great idea.

I couldn't visually find of a possible repaint though on the car anywhere. That doesn't mean an expert wouldn't have though.

My first thought was a re paint... I also mentioned to the owner the vehicle may have been repainted but he was unaware of work done to the car. He bought it last year privately but didn't have any history of the car

Great work there. A+

Also, at first I did a test spot with M105 and a CCS Orange pad and that also was very unlike the 2015 GMC. After a small test spot the 105 was very difficult to remove with a microfiber. On the GMC I had no issues applying or removing the 105. Almost like removing a dried wax on the Jag. May...

Pic of the car added..

Two weeks ago I did full paint correction on black 2015 GMC 3500. I started with M105 with a Orange CCS pad then moved on to a white CCS pad with 205. Standard procedure... Yesterday I did a polish only with M205 on a black 2004 Jaguar XJ8. Just after a few panels the surface of the white pad...

The swirl marks were just about vanished. The deeper scratches were cut down best as possible with 205. I was satisfied and so was the owner. The Best of Show wax really helped also. Thanks by the way!

Yes. 205 only with a white Lake Country CCS pad using a HF DA

So I completed the 2004 Jaguar XJ8. The owner was very happy with the results. It was a pretty basic detail. The owner wanted it "shined up". I used Megs M205 and Griots Best of Show. The final result was a super deep reflection that the owner loved. The car was a swirled out mess. I was able...

That's a nice ride you have there. I've been toying with the idea of buying one. 05~09

Yes he is a Cane Corso. That's my boy Vince

Thank you!

I have a paint correction job this Saturday on a 2004 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas. This is my first Jaguar job. I do not know if Jaguar has a hard or soft finish, so that's my question. Last weekend I did full paint correction on a 2015 GMC 3500 Denali dually using my standard plan of attack...
