Awesome detailing skills!👍

Got some tips for the headlights restoration? My son's IS250 is with me temporarily while he's away and the headlights are yellowing pretty bad. Not as bad as the Jag here though .

I've watched some vids and it seems pretty straightforward of a fix - some baking soda and vinegar and elbow grease seems to be "all" that is required. But what do I know. I'm not an expert.

 

I used this kit, easy and pretty good result.

 

Wow uh thanks guys, I really didn't think it was all that impressive since it's just something I do to cars when I buy them lol! Never once thought to make a YouTube channel etc.....

I will have interior pictures later, still haven't done that and again I'm not a pro at this lol! I have no idea how to "properly" repair leather and color match it, everything I do I self taught


Hameed, headlights really actually aren't hard at all. I use a 3 inch disk attachment for a drill (Milwaukee M18 in my case) and 3M pads, clearcoat, etc. All I do is get the old headlights perfectly clean, do a pass with 500 grit, then 800, then 1500, then 2k wet and 3k wet. Again clean it perfectly with distilled water and let dry and then use two coats with 3M headlight clearcoat.

They make a nice presoaked packet for the clear, very easy too apply. As far as sanding I would suggest to ignore directions and make sure it's perfectly sanded at each step, I like starting with edges, then doing rotating motions followed by a sideways grid, then a vertical grid, and then do both grids again with a circular motion as the finisher. Use light pressure and let the pad do the work so it's even and glass smooth. Wait 30 min between coats of clear.

 

I love these cars. They look so good. You really cleaned it up.

 

Such a very Jag way to mount something.....

I can't believe how tacked on the air system is lol!

Interior as requested, it's not perfect since I don't know how to do leather repairs



Wheel is going to be replaced entirely since they are cheap and this one has both fading wood and leather damage

Trim on the doors was not attached when we picked the car up, I replaced all clips




Super cool when lit!


I love the clock

I've been up way too late this week.....

 

I always had a soft spot for these cars with their old-school charm. Great work on the detailing!

 

I'm in love.
This beauty would be the perfect garage queen.

 

Lookin good!
