White lexus 23
New member
I had the chance to do some work for a very nice lady. The car was not in horrible shape but was in need of some tlc. This is my first attempt at a click and brag write up. I am not the best photographer. I am still learning on how to take good pictures. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
Here are the before pictures
the car was washed with Meguiars deep crystal car wash. This car wash IMO has very good cleaning power. I use grout sponges which are awesome!
The little bug has a clear bra and the build up of old wax a and dirt was very noticable. a little apc and a brush and a lot of patience
The wheels were cleaned with Meguiars all purpose cleaner. and cleaned with various brushes
all the jambs were cleaned as well.
the car was then clayed rinsed and inspected.
as you can see the paint finish is very dull with no reflection or gloss. The Bug was then prepped for polishing.
The process I chose was Meguiars 105 on the burgandy pad with my porter cable 7424.
pad primed.
working product on the pad.
I shot a short vid of the before and after from just one pass with the Meguiars 105 and the burgundy pad

I apolagize for not having much more of the before and after polishing stages after I got started I just got into the zone and didnt remeber to snap any more pictures. I finished off with Meguiars 205 on the yellow meguiars soft buff polishing pad.
The LSP I chose was Autoglym HD wax.
The Autoglym is a fantastic wax but it does have a few characteristics I do not like, I dont like that it is a little bit tougher to wipe off. I have been using Meguiars Ultimate wax a lot and it is far more difficult to wipe off Autoglym than meguiars. But Autoglym offers very good protection and amazing gloss. below is a shot i snapped when i was buffing off the Autoglym.
I moved on to the Interior
some brushing and vacuuming
Better but not done
I picked up the shark pocket steam mop a little while ago to give a try and I must say I am very impressed with the results it gives. It cleans very fast and blasts dirt and grime build up out of tight areas.
The seats were brushed and cleaned.
the seats were then steamed.
the interior was treated with a very thin coat of meguiars natural shine. The leather was treated with Lexol leather conditioner. I was really moving along with the whole thing and didnt manage to snap many pics of the interior process. And now on with the afters.
