    Hi everybody,

    This is my last write up with my old house (and with my beloved garage!).

    I have been busy moving back to apartment again(down size).........lot smaller than before..but easier on the budget.

    Anyway..This 4 Lexus Es300 ,163K, never cared for....the engine is great, but the exterior and interior was not care for a long time,may be even after it lefted the showroom.

    This car have lot of exterior contimination, swirls mark, water spot, RIDS, and oxidation.
    It look 3 days to finish this project, i wish i have more time ,but the owner only have 3 days for it to be done , and i also need to getting ready to be moving in 4 days...so i just did the best i can. about 80% out of 150%

    Anyway..I started interior first, cleaned the leather seats, it was in pretty bad condition , and i have use care to clean it , and i can't avoid crack leather, as those are crispy as chips.
    and i cleaned the carpet and the plastic, i put lot of leather conditioner after i am donw with the leather seat...(almost 2 bottle)

    After the interior was done , and i moved on the exterior with applying Liquid Clay before heading to car wash ,to rinising with high pressure water

    That's day one..i am dead tired...

    Looks great, but did you follow up the m84 with anything lighter, besides the cleaner fluid?
