  • SHINE my IS350, 19 hours later.......

    I was flattered to be chosen to detail Meguiars online member "Akkord" black Lexus IS350.

    DETAILER WANTED - IRVINE


    Paint did have a fair bit of swirls and random isolated scratches. The hood had been refinished and wasn't properly color sanded.

    After a thorough wash, claying of the paint and dry, I wet sanded some of the deeper paint defects.









    I worked in my garage which happen to be a bit toasty!







    Then it was time to polish!

          Looks gorgeous! Top notch work, as usual, Joe.


          I can't believe how hot it was in your garage!! 108? Are you kidding me?!!

          You'd like working in the weather where I'm located. Average overall temperature in August was 60 degrees.

                      Thanks for the compliments.

                      Only three products were used to shine the IS - #105, #205, #21.

                        Outstanding work Joe!

                        This just goes to show that this kind of work takes time....sometimes lots and lots of it.....and lots of patience.
