The Lexus looks great Nick, I`m curious about you washing twice. Was this really necessary after claying as the soap had dried? You used Meguiar`s of some type to polish then used a glaze. I can see the glaze if you`re going to go to wax but you used AIO which would remove it all. Just thinking about saving you product and time there. Very nice wax on the black, what did you use? It`s hard to tell it`s the same car. Nice dressing on the tires btw!

I like to do a quick wash just to cleanse the surface after claying because you get streaks from the clayed surface.
I was confused about your comment on the process. I mentioned the meguirs compound I used to deal with the scratches. I then proceeded to 3M glaze which would remove the swirls and restore some paint gloss. The AIO was my polish step, which has other properties similar to glaze and wax as well.
Hopefully that clears up the confusion. As for the wax, I believe it was colinite. It works pretty well for me.

Yeah I was wondering about using AIO after glaze...don`t you think aio would remove the glaze?

Is it not recommended to use the products in that order???? anyone???
Normally, I thought you glaze then polish a vehicle.
Sorry for any confusion. I can understand washing again to get rid of any streaks from the soap or clay lubricant. You mention you used a 3M glaze, was it 3M Perfect-it III machine glaze by any chance? If so this is much like a final polish rather than a traditional glaze. I can see you would used that to remove any micro marring etc. I had asked a similar question in this thread as I was puzzled why a glaze was used. http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72902
If you used the Perfect-it III then I don`t know if using AIO would really have any benefit other than doing a final polish and cleaning the paint of any residue. You may have been able to go right from the glaze to the Collinite. Regardless you did amazing work, how long in total did you spend on the LS 430? As for order, I have always been in the polish, then glaze camp.

Nice work. Love the 430 in black.

Looks pretty good, the before shots were pretty scary!
HEY I just wanted to say that whatever you used worked great, even on that rare order!
Looks very good considering the before condition.
