Hey everyone, haven't been on Jag Forums in a while, but I got the opportunity to detail a beautiful and all original 1987 XJ6 Vanden Plas today with 38,000 original miles! I definitely thought this Jag section would appreciate the pics below and know that this prime example is still rolling around Phoenix. The owner is putting a lot of work into her bringing it completely up to par. Watch for it possibly on craigslist or eBay my mechanic told me he may be selling it. ![Icon Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I am working with a Euro shop and do many of my mechanic's customer vehicles while they're in. Needless to say I did a full detail (exterior only) which was more or less a mini-restoration, returning this classic to her glory days. All chrome was also cleaned/polished. I couldn't resist parking her next to my '96 XJR6 for some extra shots after the detail was complete. It was Old School vs "sorta New School."![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Enjoy!

For all you detailing guys (and gals) these are the steps and products I used on this classic Jaguar:
**Full exterior detail included my higher end vehicle products:
1) Hand Wash
2) Ultra Poly Clay Bar Paint Prep
3) Meguair's Speed Glaze using DA Polisher (revealed nice black paint under oxidation & 24 years of exposure to the elements)
4) Wolfgang Polish/Swirl Remover 3.0 using DA Polisher (swirl remover & reconditions oils in the paint resulting in a liquid "glass finish")
5) Fresh coat of Pinnacle Wax
6) (step back and be awed)
