This in one of the most neglected vehicles I’ve worked on. It’s hard to believe that its only 2 years old. I gently chastised client that he needs to take better care of his car.

The Patient

Brake dust baked onto wheels requiring acid cleaning and it still couldn’t remove all of it.

Soaking in CWG and P21S TAW

Zero Beading. Hasn’t seen a wax job since new.

That’s actually concrete stuck on the paint.

Dirtiest Clay I’ve ever seen. This is after doing 1 Door!!!!

50/50 after compounding

No idea what this is.

Door Scrape

After hitting it with some wool

Door dings marks

After wool and polishing

Cloth after cleaning inside rear window.

Great job...must be the red shoes! Awesome work I don't know if I would ever want to take on a car in that condition. That car's value just went up a few grand!

Nice job, and nice pic of the New OP Crossing... I am glad there is more than one OCD freak in Orland!!!

 

[erics00ls]

Nice job. It's a shame that person is probably just going to let the car get like that again



They have enough money to just buy a new one, why not let it go to ****.. that's their mindset.



Awesome turnaround.

Thats some serious contamination on that clay bar,concrete on the paint, wow. Amazing to me people drive a Lexus and treat it like the red headed step child..Good work.

looks good, did you try to clay off the rest of the baked on brake dust?

For sure! That new mall isn't doing as well as I thought it would though. GO SOX!

Normally I woudn't have taken on this job but it was for a good friend so I figured what the heck. Plus, I didn't get an idea of the true condition until I got it under the halogens.

I used CG Grime Reaper 3:1 on the wheels and it still didn't get off. If I did anymore with those wheels it would have cut into my alloted time for this detail.

I told the owner it was pretty much one of the worst, most contaminated vehicles I've dealt with. Hopefully that will make him take better care of it.

Wash,

Clay,

Agitate, agitate, agitate.



Why the hydrofluouric? :/

Really? Good for you, but was it really that much of a bother?

...Really?

Man, in Oregon I get all kinds of gorgeous vehicles that have been trashed because of neglect and our weather - but this is pretty much close to the usual thing. Nice Lexus, neglected a little.



Maybe I'm just battle hardened or something. :chuckle:

If that is what the outside looked liked, i wonder what the leather seats looked like?
