Lexus IS250 Detail - Pin/NuviWax/DyNA - LONG!

[Jay Slay]

I made a deal with my girlfriend today...she cleans the house, I will detail her Lexus. In NY...the weather was very cold and extremely windy today. She purchased her Glacier Frost(pearl) Lexus about 2 months ago. It seemed to me with all the rain we have had here lately that there was still some original dealer prep wax on the car...BOY was I wrong! There was :nomore: of anything on the car. The car has 2000 miles on it..about 2 months worth of daily driving. Today was a challenge. I have gotten some sample products of car shampoo and detail spray from Detailing Dynamics to try. The shampoo was amazing..smelled great, tons of lubrication, tons of suds and good cleaning power. The detail spray was also very good. Hard to really gauge it until the sun comes out and I can really give the car a wipe down. I used the NuviWax because I want to test it's durability. I have included a video of the beading power of the wax. NO SUN out at all today. I will take better pics and vids when the sun decides to play nice. Enjoy!

Are you sure that's the Swissvax brush. Mine has a wood handle. That looks like a Zymol brush.
