ScheerSpeed Detailed: 2008 Black Lexus IS350

ScheerSpeed · 06-02-2008, 03:32 PM

this car was only a few months old, had never been detailed since delivery, but was washed whenever necessary by the owner. it was FULL of water spots, but the swirls were pretty light, and not too deep, so just a 1-step polish is all it took to get the job done!

Exterior:
-P21s TAW Pre-soak on bumper, mirrors, behind wheels
-CG CWG
-CG Waterspot Remover
-CG Blue Clay
-CG SQD lube
-CG Speed Wipe
-CR Spotless

Wheels/Fender wells:
-Simple Green (Fender wells)
-Bleche-wite (tires)
-CG Citrus wheel cleaner
-CG BareBones (Fender Wells)
-Meg's Hyperdressing (tires)

Engine:
-P21s TAW
-Meg's Hyperdressing

Interior was just given a vaccum and wipe down with CG Leather cleaner, and wiped again with a damp cloth.

Correction:
-Menzerna PO106FF Via Green LC CCS pad

Protection:
-CG jetSEAL109

LSP:
-CG Pete's 53'

Enjoy!!!

lexus paint is very nice, especially their starfire pearl and obsidian black, one of the reasons why I almost bought the IS. These pictures are great, but you can't really see the metallic pearl coming off of it through these pictures, they don't do justice! Excellent job, petes 53 is some great shit!

Haywire · 06-02-2008, 05:00 PM

how much does a detail like this cost, im a total noob and sorry if its wrong to ask... could you give me a price range...just for the exterior.

yea true... detailing obsession is worse than a drug obsession!!!

i was actually thinking pressure washer/foam cannon next, then maybe a paint gauge.

and the paint on this lexus was AMAZING to work with compared to BMW paint! there was so much less Orange Peel it was crazy!!!

it was just a jet black, no metallic flakes...

and i love pete's 53. i have only used it on 3 cars and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite waxes.
