My First post here after many years of learning. Picked up a new 2017 Lexus GX 460 Premium. Sorry no before`s I was pressed for time, but it had the typical dealer induced swirls and water spots.
snow foamed with chemical guys Honey Dew
2 bucket wash with Meg`s Hyper Wash
Iron X
Chemical guys fine clay with Mothers quick detailer as lube
Pulled into the garage and taped up the trim after blowing it dry, and polished the Soft Black Paint with Car Pro Essence and gloss pad with a Porter 7424XP.
reload for temporary protection until spring when the weathers better then it will get coated with C Quarts UK. tires were dressed with Griots vinyl and rubber.
Happy with how it came out. 95% defect free and its going to be hard to keep it that way.
enjoy the afters and any tips are appreciated.
Forgive the Plastidipped wheels in the last pic; we were seeing how we liked black/dark wheels on it. The GX is currently at the dealer having a set of F Sport anthracite accessory Wheels installed and a 1,000 mile service performed.
