Thumbs up New "Cat" on the block....

I was recently asked my one of our forum members who recently purchased an amazing 2007 Jaguar XKR, which was if you can believe this "lost" in the dealer inventory shuffle.

When I met Christian he came out to the OC Jaguar meet where I was putting on a little clinic and a Mini Detail for Richard on his XJ6


I was asked to evaluate Christians new 2007 XKR and give him and estimate to prep and wrap his new gem with PPF....


Here is a series of pics showing how involved the job was and how well it came out..


This was a finished shot outside with the PPF installed, full coverage on the full front clip, mirrors and lights

Let the (games) wrap begin....

After a thorough prep using the Nanoskin Autoscrub system and Shock, this XKR was ready for double protection.....

Hood vents removed for a clean application

And I thought applying my iPhone screen protector was a challenging job.

Looks great!
