    Customer found me online in searching for a local detailer to restore the finish on his 96 Lexus LS400.

    The car had been previously detailed by another local company that the owner was not happy with. The other detailer left some holograms and lots of splatter all of the place.

    After having gone to the owners home and did a test spot for him he decided that a 2 step correction was to be done. He left me the vehicle for 3 days to ensure I had plenty of time to complete the detail.

    All in all I spent about 19 hours (including interior detail) to complete.

    Products used:

    DP Xtreme Foam - In two bucket wash and foam cannon
    Dawn - in wheel bucket and foam cannon
    Kleen APC - diluted 8:1 - used for interior cleaning
    Megs Super degreaser - diluted 4:1 - used for tires and wheel wells
    Iron-X - used for rims and paint decontamination
    ONR - diluted to clay lube strength
    Megs Window Cleaner
    M105
    M205
    Menzerna Powerlock
    Wolfgang Fuzion
    Eraser
    303 Aerospace - to dress interior
    Pinnacle Black Onyx tire gel
    3M Painters Tape

    Equipment used:

    3 - 5 gallon buckets
    Karcher Pressure washer
    Foam cannon attachment
    Various Brushes - raceglaze XL brush, various sized raceglaze brushes, tire brush, wheel brush, wheel well brush
    Various MFs
    Chenille wash mitt
    Flex PE 14
    PC 7424xp
    LC wool pad - for heavy cutting areas
    LC Orange pad - for overall compounding
    LC white pads - for polishing
