well here is a jaguar XK8 i did today, i was expecting a bad interior, it honestly was not bad at all, worst of it was, was rust stains following the seams on the top, so suspecting a rusted bolt in there due to lack of top protection and it followed the top supports. they came out easy, some around rear window came out but the rust seemed to bleach the fabric(was not my cleaner!) then came the finding out the one of the leather seats was redyed instead of cleaned and some bondo for leather smeared on there. carpets were dyed as well and saw overspray on the trim peices....why do people dye carpets and interiors instead of cleaning them! anyways this vehicle was schedualed for a one step polish and a wax, along with a full interior. did not do engine as i don't really touch them unless asked or its planned before hand(due to liability reasons mainly). the focus was really on the interior of this vehicle, the exterior removed some swirls but alot still remained but as i told the customer it would need a full 2-3 step polish and that was not in the works anyways. so basically was just trying to enhance the gloss and give a good coat of protection and clean/treat the convertible top.
