Ls430

[Porkanbeans]

Here's the LS430 I did today. Steps are as follows:

Interior:
Vacuum all carpet and crevices
Spot clean carpet and fully clean floor mats
Clean/condition leather (Meg's Gold Class)
Apply sealant to wood
Clean dash and door panels (Dressed plastics don't look good on luxury cars IMO).
Clean glass (Stoner's IG)
Clean door jambs (damp cloth)
Coat jambs w/ Mothers wax

Exterior:
Pre-soak wheels and tires w/ Simple Green
Dawn wash
Agitate wheels and rinse
Clean/dress wheelwells- I found it wierd that marine grade carpet was lining the back of the rear wheelwells. :dunno
Dress tires (DuPont teflon tire shine. This stuff shines like crazy and lasts)
Coat of Mothers carnauba paste wax

It was enjoyable to do this one, as it was the first car in quite a while where I didn't have to pick dried coffee out of cracks in interior .

Befores first:

The afters:
Sorry about the tire shine residue. That stuff takes a long time to dry, plus it's white.

looks great but I would skip the dawn wash and use a wash meant for cars :lol

Yeah, I was going to use NXT wash but I discovered when I got the car that there were bugs and tar and crap all over the place. So Dawn it was! I still needed some aggressive clay to get it all, though.
