Today's lexus SUV & better pix of (MB E320)

Started thursday, but due to rain I had to stop. Most of the interior was done. They have 2 dalmations and while I didn't take any befores, the interior looked like hell.

My usual process:

vacuum
woolite to clean
NL to protect.
wet MF on windows







Exterior

wash
clay
ssr2.5/pc/6/green LC pad
FK1 #2180 to seal/pc/2/blue propel pad (wheels too)
FK1 Tire shine
PB trim restorer on rubber





more to come

I washed this car after I was done with the Lexus. Detailed it last week, but all the rain messed it up.

QEW whole car
PB S&G on wheels to clean
FK1 tire shine on tires

You wax anywhere there's paint.

And tdekany, you've really made #2180 look very good to me.
Cars look incredibly clean and shiny.

Great work. Both look top notch.


How do you like the FK1 dressing? What is it comparable to?

Thanks Sean - it is a very thick liquid which I have in a spray bottle. The product IS very good (not just for tires) - the look reminds me of Trim restorer from PB. I however like a more shiny apperance
