2007 Lexus IS 350 CPO Car 4 Step Detail

[Reflectiveauto]

This Lexus was bought up at Lexus of Bellvue as a CPO car and it was a total mess as the client just bought it the night before and it even still had a razor blade in the cup holder that the client noticed when he pulled up to the shop.

Well this was my process for this messed up Lexus:

1. AutoBrite Direct UK MagiFoam

2. NanoSkin AutoScrubber

3. Inspect and test a area

4. Menzerna PF 2500 & Orange Hexlogic w/GG 6" DA

5. AutoBrite Direct UK Final Finish & Green Hexlogic w/GG 6" DA

6. Menzerna SF 4500 & White Hexlogic w/GG 6" DA

7. AutoBrite Direct UK Cherry Glaze final polish with Carbanuba Blue Hexlogic w/GG 6" DA

8. IPA wipe down

9. NanoSkin Nano Ceramic coating.

Looks very nice.

Couple of questions since I am not familiar with the lines...

You seemed to do a lot of polishing steps after your correction step of PF2500.
You can go straight from PF2500 right to SF4500, so I am curious of the step inbetween.

Also, you finished SF4500 with a carnauba wax polish, which again seems unique to me. SF4500 will finish any paint I have encountered perfectly. Why go with a carnauba product that will need to be stripped off the finish for the sealant to bond properly?

Thanks. Lexus looks great.

That is a great question....I love to use the AutoBrite Direct UK Cherry Glaze is that is a ultra fine polish with Nuba. So where Menz SF is 4500 on the polish scale the AB Direct UK Cherry Glaze is on the 6000 polish scale and it really makes dark colors cars look so wet and alive plus giving it a protection level of Nuba which alone gives this polish about a 3 month protection is used alone. I then apply apply my sealants or coating and if if needed or wanting a coating of Nuba over that. Also I have not seen any negative effects by applying a sealant/coating over the Cherry Glaze with Nuba at all nor has AutoBrite Direct UK who made it, tested it and been using it for sometime plus its a huge favorite among the euro detailers. The AutoBrite Direct UK Final Finish Polish is on the 3000 polish scale plus its so easy and fast to use...a little bit goes a long way, super long work time and no dusting with a very easy wipe off.
