Honda & VW
A friend of mine popped round the other day while i was doing GTI6Steve's Clio, he loved the difference in shine to the paintwork etc and so had been begging me to have his Lexus for the day.
Last weekend he dropped it off for me early in the morning and to be honest it wasn't in as bad a state as he described, after the snow foam and good wash it was looking good already.
Anyway set about getting to work ....
Pressure washed
Snow foam applied and left to dwell while i agitated dirt around the badges etc
Pressure washed off
Visible Tar spots removed using AG Tar & Glue remover (Not the greatest stuff but aquired from this friend).
Washed using two bucket method with Megs Shampoo plus & sheepskin mitt
Rinsed down
Cleaned door shuts
Clayed using Elite mild Grade Clay bar and lubricated using DJ Born Slippy - rinsed down after each panel
Re-Washed
Rinsed using open hose to sheet
Dried using the i4detailing uber blue drying towel
Normally at this point i would make a start on the interior while the exterior fully dries but he said not to bother as his interior was pretty much in mint condition.
Interior Glass cleaned/Polished with AG Glass Cleaner (Love the smell of this stuff).
Dodo Jucie LP applied by Das-6 using Menzerna Finishing 135mm & spot pads.
Harly Wax applied
Exterior Glass cleaned using 3M Glass Cleaner
Plastics & Rubber treated with AG Vinyl & Rubber Care - running out of this so am looking to try something new
Exhaust clean/polished with Autosol after i removed all the crap on it with the use if some wire wool
Tyres treated with Chemical Guys Tyre Gel - have tried a couple of others but always come back to this stuff
When he came to pick it up he said immediately that "its a different colour" lol
(Just to point out to any hawks that notice, his wheels are being refurbed soon so didn't go mad on these)
