A chemical cleaner will take care of the waterspots on the chrome. Looks like nice work, what was the process?

I like the tuff stuff cleaner for most of the interior except the seats. It seems to eat everything in it's path without effort. I use a 2 stage cleaner/conditioner for the seats. Invisiglass for the mirrors and windows. Zymol for the wax.

<whistles> beautiful. I love Jaguars (but not their resale values). Classic, traditional style that exudes luxury. That's something that the Japanese can't emulate.

I might get flamed here but take the XJ and the LS. Yes, the LS is the most technologically advanced car and is damn beautiful in my eyes.

Yet, take a look at the interior of an XJ and there's something about a mix of Conolly leather, real wood and lambswool rug that just screams luxury and extravagance.

And no, I'm not 50 years old. I'm a lot younger than that .

I've been using Tuff Stuff for about 8 years and I have never seen anything else take out any stain like it does. on the detailing job.
