Default XJ cleaned today - drive to Glen Turret and pics ( pic heavy )

Well gave the ole girl a clean today and she came up not too bad, the weather was fairly decent too, so decided on a run out to Glen Turret distillery where we're having this years meet, Sun June 5th
see link here....https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...e-05th-157318/

She shined up not too bad all things considered and the scenery was stunning, see pics below...

She's far from perfect, but, perfect from afar.....lol

Going in end of month for 2 stage correction detail which should bring out the shine a little more and improve her somewhat.
I reckon I have around 183 little things, bit n pieces, a scratch here or a nick there, the odd thing I want changed or upgraded / improved......end of the month may resolve around 50 of those things lol
So I guess I'm getting there.....

Thanks
Jim

Thanks so much Sean.
I'm considering having them off again in the next few weeks to give the hubs and calipers a fresh coat, then going in to the detailers for a bumper to bumper detailing session that should help to improve the shine I hope.


Then it's forum meet time....
Jim
