Had a bunch of Lexus`s seems like one after the other! First ES350, client just got the car out of the body shop and there where allot of holograms and marring all over the car so he want them removed and wanted it Opti-Coated. It really could use a full correction but I couldn`t talk him out of it so off we went!

Dawn wash to strip off everything

Clayed with Clay magic

Sonax FE on the wheels

Flex OPT Polishing MF with OPT HP/D301

ONR wash after

Perl on the wells

Opti-Coat

Leatherique on the leather

303 everywhere else

Afters in the garage, just about when I was about to pull it out Thunder and Lightning and it started pouring rain! Rare for Texas! 105* and now 100% humidity, wonderful!

Next up, Lexus Rx`s. This client of mine has a fleet of them, and when I see them there usually hammered! With only 2 available and limited time, we decided to tackle the `07 first. Really needs a full correction, but with readings in the 80`s to 90`s I advised it wouldn`t be worth it! Deep RIDS all over, 1 step removed 50% and brought some gloss back to the finish.

Forgot to take interiors



Next `11 Lexus, better shape just needs a 1 step, same as above. We Opti-Coated this though!

Nice work as always, really good correction for what the customer was willing to pay for on the `07 RX!

Appreciate it Scott! Wasn`t trying to do a full correction, just happened that this combo worked so good that most of everything was removed! They liked it so much that now they got another one they want corrected!

I think you will find that Toyota/Lexus paints responds very well to OHP and OHC, did a black RAV4 with light to moderate swirls and OHP and a Optimum MF cutting pad took out pretty much everything and left the paint LSP ready. Paying for a 1 step and getting a 95% correction...should have charged more. :lol

Yes, I hear yah! Not a big fan of doing test spots with the customer standing there, but your right! 90% corrections at 1 step prices can`t continue!
