    It is a 07 LX 540 in sliver. The car overall is in good shape, so I decided to give the car a one step polish. I have a difficult time with cleaning up the roof and climbing up and down since the 'truck' is HUGE + I am not a tall guy with 1.74m only.

    Washing:
    Simple Green APC 1:4
    Poorboy super sick and concentrated car wash
    Wolfgang Foamaster Foam Gun
    2 bucket method
    Grit Guard
    The Dehydrator Drying Towel
    The Thief XXX Glass Towel
    MFs

    Claying:
    Meguairs detailing clay
    ONR lube

    Polishing:
    M105/ LC orange pad (for few fine scratches)
    M205/ LC orange pad
    P203/ LC white pad

    Prewax/ LSP

    Menzerna finishing glaze
    Menzerna powerlock
    Meguaris NXT 2.0

    Wheel/ Tire
    Poorboy's Bold N Bright Tire Dressing
    Mothers aluminum polish

    I know how ya feel! I am only 5' 2" and had to get a three step ladder to reach the top of my lifted jeep liberty. I still can only barely reach the center! Haha even on a little car I have to use a step stool. Anyways, nice job! Yeah, it does kinda look purple in the last shot.
