@@happychappers8311 the XF SB is one of the most beautiful estates on the market but I hate Jaguar seats. I’ve had an XF and the XJ6 I just sold had seats that had me in pain within 40 minutes. The Volvo and Z4 seats are far superior in my opinion.

@@user-cf4zz1yf2ryou see that's the problem. I've had 2 Volvo"s. An S 60 and a XC70 and both were exceptionally comfortable. The Jaguar's were much more aesthetically pleasing.

Might try a clay bar towel. Clay on one side easy to hold in your hand towel on the other. Much less chance of dropping. Use same one over and over after bucket rinse. Use mine on old cars and brand new ones. Work just as well as clay lump. Thanks for viddy!
