  • 2010 Lexus LS460

    2010 Lexus LS460, 15k miles.

    Just a basic winter prep.




    I cleaned/degreased the wheels, tires, and wells with All Purpose Cleaner.

    I foamed them with 5oz of Deep Crystal Car Wash, then agitated with various brushes, and finally rinsed.



    I foamed and washed the complete body with 5oz of Super Soap and 3oz of Shampoo Plus.






    The engine bay was given a wipedown with Last Touch Spray Detailer, this included all painted surfaces, then dressed with Quik Interior Detailer for a factory/matte look.






    The interior was given a complete dry brush and vac.

    All hard surfaces and leather were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner then followed up with an application of Quik Interior Detailer.

    The floor mats were given a heavy cleaning with All Purpose Cleaner, a soapy water agitation, and a heavy water rinse, then finally dried.

    All door and trunk jambs were wiped clean with Last Touch Spray Detailer.

    All vents and crevices were brushed out.


























    The exterior of the car was clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.

    I applied some #20 - Polymer Sealant to the paint and wheels with my PC and by hand.

    I followed that with Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax x3.

    Tires and wells were dressed with All Season Dressing.

    Glass and exhaust pipes got cleaned inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

    As always, great work! The paint looks perfect, wheels and tires are perfect, and the seats look buttery soft. Very nice car.

      looks great!

      seems a shame that by the time the car reaches the end of the block it will be dirty again...

            Looks great, thanks for sharing.

            I followed that with Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax x3.
            What does the "times 3" mean? Is that faster, better, easier then another coat of #20?

              A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                I agree. But at least you added protection from the elements. The interior is gorgeous.

                        Looks great Nick! Throw in some 20" staggered wheels and its time.

                          That car looks ridiciliously comfortable! I like the engine bay to look as simple as possible, but when companies cover them up, I'm disappointed.

                          Don't forget to lower the vehicle to compliment the body lines and I hope those staggered wheels have some low offset.
