1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 1 series detailed

[Jayplay]

Hi guys,

Thanks for taking the time to view another thread from Gleaming Kleen

Here we have a highly restored 1967 Jaguar E-Type that has recently had a full nut and bolt restoration by E Type UK.

Goals were to get the paint perfect and then protect all the surfaces found throughout the car.

Vehicle had the usual wash stages carried out and once hood was dry this was protected with 303 Fabric Guard

Build up of polish on rear lights removed

The paint was pretty much perfect apart from a few spot areas's that required polishing with Menz 3.02 and then the whole car was polished and prepared with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro.

All painted area's under bonnet and in door jambs were polished with Jeffs

Once I completed polishing all the painted surfaces I applied a coat of Swissvax Best of Show and left this for a few hours whilst I completed some of the smaller jobs.

Rear plastic window was treated with Swissvax Vinyl Clear Kit and waxed. All the metal found in the engine bay and exterior of the car were polished and then sealed with Blackfire Metal Sealant.

The interior consisted of protecting the matts and carpets with 303 Fabric Guard and cleaning the leather with LTT Auto Ultra Foam. All rubber seals were treated with Swissvax Seal Feed.

LTT Auto Ultra Protect was then applied to all leather to give a protective barrier against dirt, oils and dye transfer.

Paint was given a final wipe down with Swissvax Quickfinish.

The end result...

Thanks for looking

That car had just been "paint corrected" just shows you that there are detailers and then there are detailers.

My E comes back from the paint shop next month and I was wondering whether it might be worth you doing your thing on the bare painted shell before I put it back together.....no bits to get in the way???
What do you think? Something you can do?
