Advanced Detailing: Jaguar XK

This is an 07 previously owned by the wife of a bussiness partner, who only put on 13K on the odometer because they have a chaufeur who usually takes her places.
She went out and got a new XK-R but apperently some special edition model of which only 175 are produced and she got #1.
Anyway my guy asked me to remove all swirl marks since he is only going to drive it on weekends, alternating it with his 911.
They have a 3 and 5 series as daylies.
The car was gettimng washed and "waxed" every week as do all their other cars, which include phantoms, bentleys and more.
I sprayed water on it after hearing this and showed him the lack of evidence on a car supposedly waxed every week.
I than called him out again after i did my first step polish and wetted the car again to show him the beading, without any wax on it yet.
Anyway i started with a yellow LC pad with a swril remover , followed by a black 3M pad with finishing polish.
I then was going to follow it with a 3M blue pad with Menz 85RD but i honestly didn't like the way it felt after the Menz, the way it was coming off and the lack of additional lustre in the paint, so i stopped.
Topped off with Pinnacle sigII.
Again , this day i had to content with our daily massive rain storms here in so fla which hinders my after pic taking.
I did take some after only the first step while i still had sunlight, but you can see some slight buffer trails.













AFter first step, under the fleorescent lights


Under sunlight after 1st step










Then the storms rolled in


Hours later with little sunlight left, still half heiiden behind some clouds.

It definitely was well taken care of, the new owner wanted it to look beyond just clean and shiny.
