Lexus IS250... Deep & Wetz

[Gen2]

This IS250 was quite new when it came for the detailing session so not much defects to speak about. As we know the paint work on Lexus cars are one of the best around and given a new car, the shine on the car is pretty ‘perfect’ to start with. So it also came as a challenge to further improve the look of the car.



The process taken is as follow,



1. wash and clay

2. PO106FF/RMG mix + Polishing pad + DA @ speed 5

3. Pink Moose + Finishing pad + DA @ speed 4

4. Victoria Concours Red Wax with foam applicator by hand



The result speaks for itself,

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind compliment ;) .



DreamersPersuit - I am not sure whether the Lexus paint work is the same over your place but so far all the Lexus I detailed the paint work all looks very good :) .



DreamersPersuit - You are very right about the mica, they are like `popping out` everywhere from the paint :p .

for some reason when the new models first come out they look good but then they get more orange peel....
