I wipe it on with a clean tissue after blotting out the excess on a paper towel. It takes some practice to do it right. If you press to hard it will streak. Also holding it under a warm lamp helps it level out. Any mistakes can be touched up by wiping with ammonia or a 50/50 mix of ammonia and Future. Zymol wax deepens the gloss , most waxes I have tried tend to remove the Future but not Zymol.

The Jag didn't start running BBS wheels until 1990 when they switched to Goodyears. Here's a pic at the '89 Daytona 24 with Dymag wheels and Dunlops.



And here it is at the 1990 Sebring 12 Hours with BBS wheels and Goodyears.




Edit: Actually, the XJR-9 ran Dymag wheels with Dunlop Denlocs throughout it's career. It wasn't untilt the XJR-12 was introduced in 1990 that they switched to BBS wheels with Goodyear tires. That picture at Sebring is an XJR-12. Visually it's similar to the XJR-9 except for some detail differences. It would be very easy to convert an XJR-9 to an XJR-12.

IMSA goodness. Gotta love the world's fastest racing series.

Am I the only one who found the IMSA GTP cars more attractive than their Group C counterparts?

It's a tossup for me....there are some cars Group C car that I find just drop dead gorgeuous, like the Nissan R90CK in my sig or the XJR-8LM (with the exposed rear wheels). But the Eagle MKIII or the Nissan GTP-ZX Turbo were beautiful cars too.

Certainly there are some good looking Group C cars, but they always looked short and stubby to me compared to the sleek low drag GTP cars.

Of course, my favorite GTP car is the Group 44 Jaguar XJR-5. I love the Lancia LC2, and the TWR Jags, and the IMSA Nissans, but the Group 44 cars are my absolute favorites.
