eric, here is a link from the S Type Section:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ics-faq-29860/

If you do a search there are some members here that say "this or that" polish works, "they" did not in my case.

The trim on the X-Type is held with rivits that need to be drilled out. I so wish it was as easy as our friends with an S-Type. You can clean it up without having to remove them.

I have the same problem that I address every spring when I polish/wax my car and it comes back the following spring. Anyway, what I use is Klasse All-In-One. It does the job and does it well.

Klasse All-In-One Car Polish, Car Wax and Sealant
