This 2004 Lexus LS 430 was in pretty good shape with only moderate to mild wash scratch/swirls to contend with. I used Megs DACP + Edge green foam followed by 3M Finesse IT Finishing Glaze + PC followed by Megs #21.



Car really looked wet after the #21.



I do hate the Lexus/Toyota orange peel on these cars, and would be tempted to wetsand the entire car if it were my own.

Nice work and not a bad car either. Those LSs have always appealed to me.

Are you sure that car is not a repaint, those cars have almost NO orange peel on them when compared to the likes of BMW or Mercedes, I dont even wanna get started on ford and chevy orange peel.

Oh, great job btw..:goodjob

All original paint. Look at the orange peel near the rear tail light. I agree BMW and Mercedes is no better. GM is the worst. There paint comes from the factory with dirt under the base.



I cannot wait to check out the LS 460. The LS 430 is still a great car for the $$$.

The new LS is a piece of art, and the paint quality on those cars is phenomenal, orange peel is almost non existent, same with the new GS`s
