Greetings from Georgia
We just leased a Azurite Blue 2012 XJ and could not be happier. This is by far the nicest car we have ever driven and I look forward to all the information provided within this forum.
I really enjoy pampering the exterior of all my vehicles and can already tell I have some work to do on the XJ due to the amount of swirls and light scratches in the clear coat but look forward to the challenge and the reward of a properly detailed finish. I've already noticed that the clear coat appears to be harder that other vehicles I've detailed so any tips from other members would be appreciated. I use a Porter Cable orbital buffer and Adam's Polishes products.
Of course my detailing was placed on hold due to a "battery low, please start engine" warning that has been appearing on our car. The dealer is currently researching the issue. So far they have replaced the battery but that did not fix the issue. Trying to be patient but I can't wait to get the vehicle back because it is such a dream to drive!
Thanks in advance for any tips and tricks.

Hi there and welcome aboard, good to have you here with us .....
Congrats on the awesome ride you have. A 2012 with swirl marks??......It obviously came from the dealer like that, I'd be looking for them to refinish it as it should be from new at their cost

Thanks all. Yes, it is hard to believe a 2012 car like this could be left to be improperly cared for by a dealer. It was a transfer from Alabama where they obviously did not know how to properly wash and care for a vehicle. The dealer I leased her from did offer to detail it but when I started to ask questions about the process or speak to the detailer, I quickly realized I'd be better off doing it myself then risk additional damage.
I look forward to interacting with you all in the future.
Thanks,
Lenny
