Worked on a buddies Lexus IS300 today. I used collonite's IW again, and it looks wicked.



The paint had horrible swirls for a silver car, and even SSR3 wouldn't remove all of them!!!!!! Though I thought he'd rather have a clear coat, than a totally swirl free car. :LOLOL



Processess:



Wash

Clay

Scrub with de-tar'

SSR 3 on cutting pad via PC

Automagic Swirl Remover via rotary at 1500rpm on polishing pad

Topped with Collonite IW by hand

Rims got IW as well



Afters:

Interiors:

dress with Natural Look Dressing and Wolfegang leather conditioner

SprayWay ammonia free glass cleaner





Thanks for looking guys. :) Please leave a comment or suggestion.
 
Great job as usual! Make sure to keep us posted on IW's durability if you can. I've been trying to clean the inside of really dirty wheels and was wondering what you use and what is your method.

I personally don't care for it much. Doesn't "swirl remove". :hairpull

Method:



Scrub like a mofo....top with a water based dressing.
 
:2thumbs: Dangit. I have a bottle of IW sitting on the shelf, never used. Now that I see these awesome pictures of it (on silver, no less), I guess I'm not sitting around this weekend! Thanks for spoiling an otherwise restful weekend. :waxing:
 
Very nice work :up . It looks like you use ssr 3 often, I have been as well lately. I've noticed that if I work it till it starts to become transparent it leaves no hazing and shines up nicely. Anyhow awesome work.

Optimum is your answer. :)



Very nice work, the sun shots are excellent!

I need a sample. Does Optimum has anyone that would send me a sample before I send out the big bucks for a gallon? I'd also like to compare my times with it on the PC and the rotary...hmmmm :work:
 
$15 a quart, it isn't very expensive. I'd be willing to trade some Optimum (4 oz sample size) for a similarly sized sample of Collinite 845. ;)

I only have a sample myself, so that won't work. :idea :furious:

Our lights don't come off, but the pictures are from the neighbour's house.
 
Heh, Stevo, you need to quote your "christmas light" answer into your signature.



But as usual, awesome detail on one of my all-time favorite cars.
