Hi everyone,
I've put 5K miles on my XJS since purchase in '04. The engine has picked up normal road/engine dirt and while I don't show the car, I want it back as clean as it was when purchased - see attached photo. I'm reluctant to Gunk/water rinse it. Anyone have some tips? Or should I take it to an "expert" detailer? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
