Well, I wash and polish mine, but I can't get a shine like that. Beautiful car. What do you use?
I've spotted a 'vert in the same colour around town a couple of times since the heat began which I haven't seen before. Works much better for me than on the coupe - I don't know why: perhaps its a ragtop XKE thing.

Beyond that suggestion, I have no clue as to why a previous owner put them there.

It takes me 8~10 minutes to hand wax the car. If it gets dusty it probably gets hosed off and dried, it rarely gets 'dirty' (once again relatively).

"BK",
Thanks for revealing your secret formula for "Waxing" and Cleaning the Red Convertible, I appreciate it very much! It is a beautiful Convertible and the Shine is fantastic......I also use Pinnacle wax a couple time a year but have been using "Best of Show" for about a year.....I'm not getting the same results as you, so I guess I'm going to try Speed Shine......Your little Red Machine looks great! Congratulations!

JRabbit and the 06 XKR Coupe
Mr. Rabbit and everyone else on this forum...
I've found something you might like as I feel they have really dressed-up my Interior.....I think you have Black....At least your Recaro Seats are Black! Any way, I came across these Floor Mats form my Friend Dave, in Scotland at:: enquiries@dcrautoparts.com and just had to have a set...They come in all the normal colors and you can mix them to suit you needs.....Check it out as they only cost around $175.00 for the pair, shipped! My Carpets are Beige and the Mats are Macao....The really make it look super!
Let me know what you think! Is this just a Texas thing? Billy Clyde in Houston
My new Floor Mats from Scotland

Thanks very much for the props JRabbit and Billy Clyde!, greatly appreciated, especialy from gentlemen with such beautiful Cats as are yours!! BC, I've admired your coupe for sometime, and JR, my Xkr would not fair near as well in a concours show, so hats off to you both!
JR, I refinished my wheels with the same Dorchester Gray paint as the window trim on so many of our Xk8's and Xkr's. I had the usual oxidation blisters on my side window trims, so took the wheels to task while refinishing the trims. Also took care of some curb damage on the wheels from the previous owner. As a suggestion, you could try either a lint roller, or good old sticky backed packing tape to try and remove debris in the carpets that the vacum won't.
BC, those are freakin' killer floor mats, and I thought my Lloyds looked good, hmm, having the same color carpets as yours,.....food for thought. If it's "just a Texas thing", then I'll stand with you, as I originally hail from Dallas.
Cheers,
BK
