Default XJS back up and runnig, getting it ready for cars show

:icon _headbang:
Finally got the XJS up and running again after Lord Lucas Prince of darkness struck, but defeated him again. so started getting it detailed for a couple of local cars shows,

My schedule as planned, (hope it comes together this way, love it when a plan comes together)

well Sunday is the car show here in town, started detailing the 84 Jag XJS for it, went up to the car wash and gave it a good cleaning. (late at night the owner does not mind me bucket and hand washing), came back down the house and parked it in garage and started with a buffing out of some spots that need with a mild compound. Then went on to using Liquid Glass Pre Cleaner, looking gook so far, tomorrow, put on a coat of Liquid Glass polish, detail the engine bay and the trunk. may get the outside glass. Friday will be detailing the inside, clean carpets, seats and polish woodwork, saturday, another coat of Liquid glass polish, get the rims cleaned and polished. Yep a lot of work for a small town local show, but worth it. Then in about 2 weeks get ready for another car show locally

Hi daverb

Liquid Glass!

Tell me more I've never heard of that one, sounds great stuff.

Good Luck with the Car Show, although I am sure you won't need it.

I have found some good deals on E Bay for it. it may seem a bit expensive, but the can I have lasted 2 years and that is using it on 2 cars
