Lexus IS F - Dream Detail

[TrKent]

Here goes the first post in this forum =)

Here is a video & some photos from a Lexus I recently worked on. The water-spot etchings were so bad on the horizontal panels that I had to resort to Surbuf & 100/101, even on the glass!! The finish was then further refined with PolishAngel Invincible 9H Primer & protected with Color-Matched Cosmic, specifically formulated for this paint code.

Rupes LHR21 on the hood with Meg's MF pads & M100

Followed by PolishAngel Invincible 9H Primer. I have found this polish works very well as a 1-step polish, perhaps an alternative to Perfect Finish as it has tremendous cut with a super high-gloss finish. This also has the added benefit of not needing an IPA or Panel Wipe before applying Cosmic 9H

Polishangel Palladium, super easy to use metal polish. Either I have been getting very easy metal to polish or this works much faster than what I am used to.

Hood reflection shot just a short while after applying Cosmic. It takes Cosmic 24 hours for the full gloss & hardness to set in.

Reflection can sometimes be hard to capture on a Pearl White but this was reflecting quite nicely, the pictures don't really show it all.

Check the label on the box here, Lexus paint code 077.

Thank you all!!

Definitely does have more pop from the pearl in person. The color-matched coating seemed to help quite a bit with the pearl.

I will post up another car detailed recently in a few
