Keep it clean !!!
About a month ago I detailed this 2001 Lexus LS 430 with 76k miles. It took me 2 days to get it up to this condition, and yesterday I had the chance to hand wash it and vacuum it out and decided to take a few pics. The car was transported from Texas to NJ on an open carriers and needed some attention when it arrived. Here was the exterior process:
Wash and clayed.
Buffed with Hi Temps HCL Yellow wool.
Final buff with 3M Ultrafina Green foam.
Sealed with Klasse SG.
The interior took me about 5 hours, due to the fact that the previous owner was a smoker. So the interior was thorough cleaned and all the carpeting was heavily shampooed and extracted. Then a full 10 hours of ozone killed any lingering smoke odors.
The leather was cleaned with Meguiars APC 20:1 diluted and then treated with Colorplus Leather softner. All interior non leather surfaces were cleaned with Meguiars APC 20:1 then dressed with Stoners Trimshine then buffed with a MF towel for matte look.
All wood was hand polished with Ultrafina, and cleaned with a carnubu spray wax.
Wheels are rechromed OEM wheels from a wheel exchange, and the rear badges are new because old badges were gold and faded.
Took a lot of time and pride in this detail, because it now belongs to my wife. She loves it !!!
