Hi everyone... I posted a few pics over on the main board of my 2001 Lexus GS300 and wanted to share some more here. Washed, clayed, #9 2.0, AIO x2, SG x2... Enjoy!

clean tire, rim <span class=`bbc_underline`>and wheel well (after the comments AlBoston got on his IS300 wheel well, I made sure mine were clean before posting on here!)

gotta love 303 and Lexol. Great interior combo! First interior shot is in the main detailing section.

last one... after only 2 applications of sg, I`m still quite happy with the reflection. The only odd thing was that the paint seemed just slightly less slick after using the SG. It`s still very smooth... it sat for 10 hours before final buffing.

Nice work, looks terrific. You mean not as slick as after AIO? If so I know what you mean but the SG you can layer and 4,5 or 6 coats of SG looks better than 1. Also I found Wizard’s mist ‘n shine QD (buff out with MF towel) works great with SG.

Sweet! :cool:
What did you use on the tires?? very nice black look (I prefer medium gloss of Vinylex, but will adapt to the car being detailed like a nice black MB E430 will need a natural sheen (Automotive International`s rubber protector watered down and buffed) or a high gloss for a light colored car but there are exceptions for tire dressings.)

Jason -- I used Meguiar`s Endurance High Gloss and let it sit overnight before finally buffing with a towel. I was very surprised to see the end result as usually I end up leaving the oily stuff on, thinking it looks better with a shiny gloss.
After seeing your`s and other`s posts where they buff the tires after application, I had to try it myself!

Cool! :cool:
If you want shiny that lasts try TW 2001 tire gel that DETAILKING loves. Applied Saturday, been through a light shower and a down pour. It was actually driven during the down pour. I`ll snap some pictures Saturday.
