    Had a bunch of Lexus's seems like one after the other! First ES350, client just got the car out of the body shop and there where allot of holograms and marring all over the car so he want them removed and wanted it Opti-Coated. It really could use a full correction but I couldn't talk him out of it so off we went!
    Dawn wash to strip off everything
    Clayed with Clay magic
    Sonax FE on the wheels
    Flex OPT Polishing MF with OPT HP/D301
    ONR wash after
    Perl on the wells
    Opti-Coat
    Leatherique on the leather
    303 everywhere else
    Afters in the garage, just about when I was about to pull it out Thunder and Lightning and it started pouring rain! Rare for Texas! 105* and now 100% humidity, wonderful!

    Next up, Lexus Rx's. This client of mine has a fleet of them, and when I see them there usually hammered! With only 2 available and limited time, we decided to tackle the '07 first. Really needs a full correction, but with readings in the 80's to 90's I advised it wouldn't be worth it! Deep RIDS all over, 1 step removed 50% and brought some gloss back to the finish.

    Washed with Dawn
    Clayed with Clay Magic
    Sonax FE on the wheels
    Flex OPT Cutting MF HP/D301
    Flex OPT Polishing MF HP
    ONR wash
    Perl on the wells
    Opti-Seal
    OPT PC on the inside

    Forgot to take interiors

    Next '11 Lexus, better shape just needs a 1 step, same as above. We Opti-Coated this though!

    Nice job! They all look great. Can you comment on your process for the leather interior more?

    Thanks Kody! I'm so sick of this I can't wait until it's over!! Last week I lost 11lbs., and drank a case of powerade! Scott loves this weather, I always tell him he's sick!
    Thanks Andy! For the interior I used Leatherique Cleaner, spray it on and wipe it off. Lexus leather cleans very easy.

    Very nicely done. Does it usually take you less than 4 hours to wash/clay/1step/sealant/interior a sedan?
