Nickc0844 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hey Friends, Had the opportunity to fully detail my newer 2007 Lexus GS350. I bought it used with 22k miles on it about a month ago. The dealer's detailer reamed the surface with a wool pad and attempted to remove some wetsanding marks very much unsuccessfully. While I had to use another product and my Makita Rotary to remove those marks, the car was done in this fashion: -Tires cleaned with APC, Wheels cleaned using Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner, Wells cleaned using APC and Boulder Blonde Fender Brush -Washed with Adam's Wash via Foam Gun and Professional Wash Pad, Bucket, and Grit Guard, dried with a Gray (old version) drying towel. -Clayed using Detail Spray and Blue Claybar -Spot compounded using Makita Rotary, Edge Green Pad (Gen 1 system), and other product at 1500RPM -Polished with Rotary using Fine Machine Polish and Scratch Remover combo on Rotary with Orange pad at 1300RPM -Jeweled using PC and Fine Machine Polish with White UltraFine polishing pad at level 5 -Sealed using Super Machine Wax on PC with a Red Finishing pad on speed 4 -Hand Applied Adam's Americana -VRT on Tires -Metal Polish #1 & #2 on exhaust tips -Brilliant Spray Glaze on Wheels **Disclaimer--Last pic taken after waking up early on the weekend to wash the car prior to the "water police" patrolling the area. Since I was on a roll, I never changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickc0844 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Nick, you are a wild man!! Nice car, did you swap out the E500 for it? Looks beautiful, and thanks for your excellent write up my friend! I did indeed. While the E was a great car, the mileage was creeping up on it and we got out of it at a good time. Enjoying the new one thus far. I was more than pleased with the results of the regimen, and couldn't help but share with the gang. Thanks for all the kind words folks.
