2005 Acura tl, 2 days old Lexus, Highlander

works for my weekly M3 client. He hit a deer and the left side was repainted.

2 hours

wash
clay
FK1 #2180 on the fresh paint/pc/gray pad speed 3
poli seal on everything else/pc orange lc pad speed 5
extreme tire shine





===============

onr
FK1 #1000 to protect/pc/gray lc pad speed 3





===============

same owner as the Lexus, he was giving it to his daughter for Xmas - she was going to buy it from him in april 07, nice present for sure.

since this color hides everyhting so well, (both inside and outside) I didn't bother with befores, but let me tell you that it needed alot of work. Never been cleaned - still looked good from 8 feet away.

vacuum
steam clean
FK1 # 108 to protect





wash
clay (lots)
OC orange pad pc 6
FK1 2180 to protect
FK1 108 0n tires

Re: 2005 Acura tl, 2 days old Lexus, Highlander

thanks guys. The tl has coilovers. The owner used zaino on it, but when I detailed it the paint was very dry. I didn't ask when he applied it last. I may start taking care of it weekly.

Still jamming this late in the year, eh? Awesome!

No wonder you are busy though, all the vehicles look terrific.

Any problems missing anything when working in parking garages or do you bring additional lighting with you?

Great job on all of them, but of course that TL just stands out.

Thomas you have been busy for sure! Great job. I was wondering why we haven't seen posts from you for a while. You're too busy to post!

Re: 2005 Acura tl, 2 days old Lexus, Highlander

Super JOB and

How hard is it to get thin coats with the 1000p paste wax.

i am thinking about switching to 2180 then 1000p times two or three.

thanx mongo
