I've been patiently waiting over the last few weeks for my coat of wax to slowly vanish wash after wash since I stored her at the end of last fall.

Now that I have all my professional equipment I spent a couple hours making today her showroom condition.

Used swirl remover on hood & trunk for the first time (machined), then machined pure polish, and a nice machined coat of wax. The Meguiars DA Polish that I have been using the last month or so is 100% amazing, as are the professional line of Mirror Glaze product lines.

Couldn't resist taking pics and sharing them with all my fellow Jag lovers on here!

Standing next to her in person you'd think it belonged in a museum now.

It doesn't matter whether I have to put 3 transmissions in or replace the supercharger 5x in this XJR; it's with me til the end.

Whether you have an XJ6/8/R, the X300 & X308 bodystyle are truly gorgeous and always keep us smiling when we look back.

 

Hey XJ, thanks for the pics
It's a nice feeling to hear such threads as well

 

Beautiful...that's all I have to say.

 

Amen and Amen! And of course us 'S' type owners feel just as passionately about ours! As another Jag owner put it "the only thing I hate about my car is when the trip is over and I have to take the key out and shut the door!"

 

She's a beauty! I love mine and I too hate to pull the key out.

 

Drop dead gorgeous.

Superb licence plate.

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

my custom license plate is up this fall. I don't know what I will do with it though due to moving to Phoenix in a couple months. AZ has custom plates too, but their plates aren't 8 numbers/letters long like in NYS. They're only 7!

So it would not flow as nice as HADABENZ...it'd have to be HADBENZ. kind of cornier don't you think?

History lesson on that plate: I had it on my old XJ6 as well. It is in honor of my very first automobile and what started my passion for European autos.

1985 380SE Benz with 209,000 miles when I sold her. Body was gorgeous. Without a doubt that's the closest thing I have ever driven to a TANK.

 

W126s considered to be the best and the most reliable Mercs ever made . Not that I do agree with that I think those models were built very hard

 

Very nice pics. Just replaced a very reliable W124 with over 250K miles on it with a 96 XJ6 with about 107k on the clock. But I will never part with my SL600 R129
