I’m having a tough time finding the best car polish for my 2017 Jaguar F-Type here in the UK. I’m particularly concerned about swirl marks and maintaining that deep, glossy finish. Any recommendations or tips for products that work well on this model?

    For your 2017 Jaguar F-Type, especially with concerns about swirl marks and maintaining a deep, glossy finish, here are some well-regarded recommendations and tips from UK Jaguar owners and detailing experts:

    Recommended Polishes and Products
    * Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba Wax is praised by Jaguar F-Type owners for delivering excellent protection and a rich gloss finish, helping to reduce swirl marks with regular use.
    * Koch Chemie Polishes are frequently used by professional detailers on Jaguars. A two-stage machine polish involving a medium swirl-removing polish followed by a fine jeweling polish can remove 60-90% of defects like swirl marks and light scratches, restoring paint clarity and depth.
    * Menzerna and Sonax polishes are also popular choices in the Jaguar community for their effectiveness in paint correction and gloss enhancement.
    * Some Jaguar enthusiasts recommend synthetic polymer systems like Carlack 68, which can last about four months between applications and provide durable protection.

    Polishing Process Tips
    - Thoroughly wash your car with a high-quality shampoo before polishing to avoid scratching the paint.
    - Use a dual-stage polishing approach: first a cutting or swirl-removing polish, then a fine polish to enhance gloss and smoothness.
    - Apply polish in small sections using circular motions, allow it to haze, then buff off with a clean microfiber cloth for best results.
    - Regular polishing every 3 to 6 months helps maintain the finish and protect the paint from environmental damage.

    Additional Protection
    - Consider applying a ceramic coating like GYEON DURAFLEX after polishing for long-lasting gloss, scratch resistance, and easier maintenance. Some detailers offer this with a 5-year warranty, which is ideal for preserving your F-Type’s finish.

    * For swirl marks and deep gloss, start with a reputable swirl remover polish such as those from Koch Chemie or Menzerna.
    * Follow up with a fine jeweling polish and protect with a quality wax like Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba.
    * For longer-term protection and enhanced gloss, consider professional ceramic coating services.
    * Take your time with the polishing process and maintain a regular schedule to keep your Jaguar F-Type looking showroom-ready.

    This approach balances effective swirl mark correction with maintaining that luxurious deep shine your F-Type deserves.
