Correction detail: Black Lexus ES350

Day 1

I started pretty late today and I was hoping to at least wash and clay the car.
Thankfully I did a little more.

This car is always outside and parks under a pine tree.

Dawn wash
TOL aggressive clay
ZCS on wheels
NL (1st coat) on tires
Mark V350 flex purple foamed wool pad
SIP flex green foam
106ff flex gray foam
CG's wet mirror finish flex blue foam pad


Here are some before pictures:

I can't work on it until Tuesday, but I should be finished with it the same day. I'll most likely use the rotary at some point to speed things up.

They need to get a roof or garage or something for that car, the pine trees will destroy that paint

Re: Correction detail: Black Lexus ES350

Well I had to finish the car much sooner so there are no real good pictures to really show it off. Also my first camera died (battery) after the frst after shot. Pulled the car out and tried taking some outside pictures but the other's battery went dead as well.

Re: Correction detail: Black Lexus ES350

great work. was that the rear bumper i saw hanging off?

the gravel driveway would bother me as dust would get stirred up and onto the car.
