One of our Jaguar forum members called me to come out and provide my paint correction
and detailing services on their previously owned and newley acquired 2009 Jaguar XF.
Donna and Justin had recently relocated from San Diego to my hometown of Tustin
which made this service convenient for both of us.....

Now for the surface defects that needed to be corrected and were very extensive.
Its such a shame that someone (previous owner) would be so harsh on such a fine vehicle

Let the challenge begin!
Fortunately I found this 2009 XF to have somewhat soft paint, which made for a nice correction.
Here is the prep stage getting the vehicle thoroughly cleaned starting with the motor.

Passenger side wheel wells had road stripping paint splattered up inside, we were able to clean up most of what was visible.

Close inspection of the paint showed me the tell tale signs of how this XF was cared for in the past......
"Danger" viewing this may cause the Jaguar afficionado to get sick to your stomach and or yell......

Using the Meguiars MF correction system and a D/A proved to be the ticket.

This thread was a real "Good News, Bad News" one for me. First the "Bad", the "Before " photos could be of my recently obtained 2007 XK coupe with 73,000 miles. My BRG paint seems to be soft and it has all of the shown issues. I have no idea how someone could do that to any car. ( Would the fact that it started as a lease be a clue ?)
Now the "Good" news. This fine post, and others , prove that with knowledge, today's technology, and effort these fine looking autos can be restored to the their former glory.
It looks like I am about to move the space heater to the garage, and become a major investor in Meguiars Inc.
