The Cirrus and XJS got a much needed wash and wax today.

I've had this car since 2003, and still refer to it as my best "sensible" car purchase.

Unfortunately, with two Jaguars in the garage, the poor Cirrus now spends its days outside. The multitude of trees around the driveway mean this car gets covered with sap and debris all the time.

I washed the car first and attempted to remove as much of the staining as possible. Instead of using the buffer or orbital polisher, I did everything by hand making sure I removed all the staining.

As of this writing, the car is now 16 years old and still cleans up pretty nice.

I need to do a better job at keeping it clean.
