    I love M205!! My first test spot was done with D151 but that left some nasty marring so my second choice was M205 and it worked amazing!!

    Hot car with a hot shine. Great work man!

    LOL I might be biased as that's one of the cars I dream of owning.

    The Lexus looks fabulous! What did you use to dress the interior leather and plastic?

    Pretty sweet ride... and nice detail.

    But is it just me, or does the interior look a little cheap... like it has lots of plastic? Just didn't expect that on a car of that price/class.

    Those are some amazing cars. Looks great, especially with those wheels that come on the F series.

    2008 Lexus IS-F Full Detail

    A friend of mine just purchased this '08 Lexus IS-F (11k miles) about a month ago and had me do a full interior/exterior detail on it. Overall the car is in great shape. The previous owner was careless though and took the car through drive-thru car washes which caused quite a few scratches. I was able to correct the hood, roof and trunk lid about 90% but the sides are only about 70% corrected due to do the severity of the scratches. I only did a 1-step polish so I was very pleased with the results. The color is called "Obsidian" which is a gorgeous color!!

    For exterior I used:
    ~ 5 Gallon bucket w/ Grit Guard
    ~ Gold Class Car Wash
    ~ Microfiber wash mitt
    ~ Wheel Brightener 4:1 (wheels & wheel wells)
    ~ Wheel brush
    ~ APC+ (engine)
    ~ Waffle weave microfiber towels (to dry)
    ~ Glass cleaner w/ glass microfiber towels
    ~ G110
    ~ M205 (1-step w/ polishing pad)
    ~ M21 (w/ finishing pad)
    ~ Megs Supreme Shine microfiber towels
    ~ Hyper Dressing (tires)

    For interior I used:
    ~ Shop Vac (along with mutiple fine brushes)
    ~ APC (seats, panels, dash, etc)
    ~ APC+ (floor mats)
    ~ Carpet brush
    ~ Glass cleaner w/ glass microfiber towels
    ~ Megs Leather cleaner/conditioner
    ~ Microfiber towels
