Smile Amazing makeover in progress

My 2011 XKR 175 is undergoing a transformation.....
20 hours already into it for paint correction, and one more polishing step, then 22ple glass coating on the painted surfaces, wheels, and brake calipers.

And a very nice cost to do this work, no doubt.

I like the removal of all decals etc, to complete the work. That's professional.

Holy cow. How much does 20 hours of work cost? $2000?

...well just let me say it's not cheap, but it is worth it. My local Jag dealer offered a Cilajet acrylic coating which just goes over all the light scratches, etc. for about the same price. These guys at Premier AutoWorks actually remove the scratches with the paint correction, then apply the glass coating over a virtually perfect surface. I suspect that it will look even better than when it first departed Coventry when it's done. Too bad it's going down -9 degrees here in Milwaukee overnight this week. This big cat's going into hibernation for a few months when it gets out of the spa. Those summer tires don't like the COLD! ...and neither do I !!!

Your car looks great already and should be spectacular when finished. As for the weather, mid-80's in Los Angeles today, come on out!
