    Hello,

    This is my second time detailing this gorgeous Lexus, this time it came with some new wheels on it. This was also my chance to check out the blue Uber pad I received from Detailer's Domain and I think I'm in heaven. This pad with 85RD on the Flex is amazing! Cannot wait to use it on my truck once Insignis comes in! :applause2:

    Problem area with this vehicle was the back. The double pipes are cute, but they constantly blow soot all over the rear bumper and boot area. Claying wouldn't shift it, so that had to be polished out with some more aggresive polish. The P21S Polishing Soap did a nice job of shining up those exhaust tips, too. Great product! Enjoy the detail... All photos are straight out of the camera, with excpection of four where I had to adjust the lighting a bit.

    1) Wash w/ CG Citrus Wash n' Gloss & Zymol sponge
    2) Dry w/ Sonus Der Wunder WW
    3) Menzerna PO85RD on blue Uber pad w/ Flex
    4) Jetseal 109
    5) Pinnacle Souveran

    - ARO on tires, dressed with Zaino Z16
    - Jetseal 109 on the wheels
    - P21S Polishing Soap on the exhaust
    - All interior done with 1Z products (no pics, sorry!)

    Customer was nice enough to drop her off the night before, so the paint was cool to start.

    My favorite shot. Looks like it's fall, even though it was 102F outside...

    I always thought that car was the most pointless, useless and ugliest car ever made. I still believe that statement. However, with that said.. The job that was done is amazing man, if someone came to me with that, I'd tell the customer I have clamidia.

    P1et...you got the paint looking nice and wet. And the wheels...that chrome is just wicked!! I may just have to try some jetseal on my wheels tomorrow when I clean mine up. The owner must have been thrilled.

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

    As far as the camera is concerned, it's a Rebel XT with the kit lens.
