Greetings all :)



This time a Lexus ES 350 in red... which I thought was plain at first. But then I spotted the beautiful flake in this paint.



This car could've used a polish, perhaps just with SSR1 or so. Maybe next time ;)



Process:



Paint:

- Wash with Z7

- Clay where needed

- Z-AIO on blue Edge (polishing) pad + Z6



Interior:

- Meg's Quick Interior Detailer

- Eagle One Leather conditioner (although nice, I'd like to try the Zaino leather stuff)

- 303 Spot remover in some places

- Vacuum



Windows: Invisible Glass.



Wheels & tires:

- Cleaned with wheel brush & Z7 shampoo, which worked well

- Z-AIO on wheels

- Z-16 on tires

- APC in wheel wells



Befores:

Couldn't remove the marks in next picture... the plastic was scuffed so therefore the color change.

And an ominous red sky shot to finish it off ;)
