Keep it clean !!!
This past week I had a few “projects� including this 04 Lexus GX 470. The paint was in pretty bad shape, but luckily it was Lexus single stage black. I have had considerable success with their ss black and I went after the finish with Hi-Temps Heavy Cut leveler and a yellow Schlegel wool pad (PC-375). I set the rotary to about 2500 rpms.



After cutting I used 3M Ultrafina with an Edge light cut/polishing pad to level out the swirls from the HCL. I am very impressed with this products performance and the finish was ready for a sealant after this step.



Sealed with Meguiars #21.

They are currently only for sale on ebay, but they will be on sale elsewhere including the website in about 7-10 days.
 
Nice work Dean!



Those are some pretty big vehicles you detailed and they both look great



Not only do the exterior look stunning, but the interiors look like brand new as well
 
I do not recommend 2500 rpms on a clearcoated car, but on single stage the paint cuts like butter at this speed, and you can work at this speed longer. I love single stage paint !!!

Higher RPM on single stage paint is the normal. Makes such a big difference in the way the paint cuts. A PC just isn't the same as a rotary on a SS paint job.



Anyways, cars look great, however, the truck is a F250...

Hey Dean. Great job! I would have bet any amount of money that lexus never used single stage paint.... so i just learned something this morning!! Thanks.!



if that f-250 took u that long, it would have taken me about 15 hours. Thats a lot of real estate to clean!!!



I hope u don't mind, but someone here was looking for a great NJ detailer and i dropped your name.. But i did tell him i wasn't sure about ur availability..



See u in the spring sometime!
 
I did not know this post was still out there, but thanks for the kudos.



One of the girls in my avatar (Laura Leigh) is currently on the ABC TV show "True Beauty".

Most of us are not big fans of reality TV, but its pretty cool seeing someone you know on TV every week. She really is a pretty cool chick, and I hope she walks away with the prize.
