Beautiful XF, it looks brand new. The paint is incredible as well as the headlights.

Nice car, could you post more about the turbine in the General section? That looks very interesting!

Thanks! The car was only summer driven. The paint is 2 years old. I also use Mothers, 2 coats of hand buffed wax paste with carnoba

Awesome Mario! Thanks for sharing that footage. And the black really shines when it is clean like that!

Here's where I mounted the start button. I believe it's where the headlight aiming switch would be mounted in some xf's. Clearance is good under there and the relay is mounted next to the lock cylinder. The button color is a perfect match. It is blue lit when the ignition is on and blacks-out when off. I bought it on Ebay
