Hi Everyone,

Im new to this forum stuff so be easy. I have a 2009 Jaguar XF that is blacked out (Black grill, black quad exhaust, black Asanti 22' rims, black interior and black exterior). I am from the LA area, so as soon as I figure out how to post pics I will do so.



Thanks Again,

Frankyb

Welcome to the forum Franky,

(I've enlarged the thumbnails for a clearer view)

The pics should have a 'sunglasses required' warning - that's some deep shine you've got on the the XF.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xf-xfr-x250-44/ to the XF section for help, advice and information.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User ID button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can visit the Western US Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham

Welcome to this friendly Forum, Franky. I'm not a fan of messing about with these cars but have to say you've pulled it off - looks really good.
As Graham said what on Earth did you polish it with?

Wow!!! Thanks everyone for the replies, I feel welcomed! I will try to start updating my signature once I go through the tutorial.

About the car I typically wax the car everyother weekend with Auto Magic (banana) or The Chemical Guys. Auto Magic which is not sold in stores only online, works great if u tend to get alot of dust on your car. I've had the car since 09 (the first new body release) and I had a lot of fun changing it up. Sad news is with all the hard work I put into customizing it and keeping it shiny I will probably be getting rid of it. I don't know if many of u may know but Jaguar had a class action lawsuit due to a Manufactures Malfunction and my warranty is up in November.

So I don't want to have any major problems or have to deal with getting an extended warranty.

Your dedicated car care routine has certainly produced fantastic results. It will be sad if the XF has to go because of the unfortunate reputation for costly electrical and mechanical issues it has acquired.

Hope it hasn't put you off another Jaguar.

Don't get me wrong this car has treated me great! This car was an upgrade from my 04 Cadillac CTS and what an upgrade it was. Like I said earlier there is a class action lawsuit for 09-10 Jaguars and they will either buy your car back or give you $4,000 to extend your warranty, so I took the $4,000. I have been considering using that towards a down payment on a new car instead of extending my warranty.

But before I make any decision I wanted to join a forum and hear everyones thoughts and how they felt about Jaguar.
