2006 Lexus, pearl, detailed pics, VIDEO walkaround included
Hey guys, well this car was brand new so it was fairly easy to clean, process was as follows
-Wash with nxt
-Clay with pinnacle poly clay and lubricant
-Wash
-Poorboys EX with caranuba applied by hand, 2 coats hood/roof, turned out awesome!
(next detail will put the nattys paste wax on)
-Interior - carpets scrubbed, vacuumed, leather conditioned with lexus leather conditioner, scrubbed all door panels/treated the dash, ETC
wheels washed, cleaned with diluted simple green, waxed wth poorboys ex, extreme tire shine gel in the end
here are some pics, and sorry for the no befores, the car had NO swirls on it when I got it under the halogens so I didnt even have to use a PC, it was a really nice feeling
Here are some pics, sorry for the lack of before pictures, I was on a schedule

Excellent job on a beautiful car.

What did you use to extract the interior carpets?

That is a gorgeous car and fantastic detail. The video was great, really showed how wet the pearl finish looks. +1 on the interior, I just love it.

Nice job!

I'm glad you stayed away from those Lexus dealer chemicals though-they are not good imho.
