I finally had the chance to detail a "high end" car this weekend. The normal vehicles I get are everyday daily drivers and work vehicles (Ford Escapes, Subaru's, pick up trucks, etc). It was a 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas. The car is silver with black interior and only has 29,000 miles.
The overall condition wasn't too bad. The wheels had some baked on brake dust, some nasty road grime on the lower sections of the doors and the exhaust tips where very "yellowed".
The interior was nearly perfect with the exception of some dust in the corners and a few light area's of dirst and sand.
Overall, I spent nearly 5 hours on the car. Most of which was working the clay bar. The owner was very pleased with the results (this was the fourth car from them).
First I washed and dressed the motor. I then washed the car to remove any loose debris and dirt and addressed the chrome exhaust tips with Eagle One never dull. Started the clay process with a medium clay. Rewashed after clay then hand dried. I then started on the interior with the dash, door panels, console, etc. Gave the matts and floors a quick vac. I then moved to the wax applying and removing by hand (old school
). From there I dressed the wheel wells and tires and finally the glass, inside and out. I did a walk around and addressed any minor issue I found (touched a few spots on the tire dressing, polished the rims and chrome trim pieces). All in all it was a decent car to do.
As soon as I get the pictures up-loaded from my camera I'll post them.
