Lexus IS250: MF D300 Paint correction, interior, and Opti-Coat protection.
This car belongs to a great client/friend of mine. The vehicle was in for an early spring detail, Opti-Coat protection, and also to see if I could fix a little mishap where the garage door opening ran into the side of the car.
Paint correction Process:
-D300 MF compound via PCXP 5" MF pads
-GTechniq P2 via rotary and LC cyan foam pad
-Wet sanding was done with 6" disks 1500/3000
Paint and exterior Protection:
-Optimum Opti-Coat (Applied to all paint, glass, trim, and wheels)
Interior Process:
-Carpets/mats cleaned with Folex and the LGM. Some areas pre-treated with 303 fabric cleaner
-Vinyl and dash cleaned with OPC and/or Einszitt Cockpit Premium
-Leather cleaned with OCP and Leather Masters
Note: Several of the interior panels had deep scuffs on them. After discussing with the owner we decided against trying diminish their appearance with a dressing, as we both prefer the natural look and feel.
Before pics:
Yea MN winters!!!
Here is the damage the garage left behind...
Don't drive with the windows down right after getting a hair cut...
After the car was washed, clayed, and paint transfer was removed, this is the damage that remained.
Good amount of clear to work with....forgot to take after pic reading though.
Taping of clear film edges with 3M Fineline tape
Swirls and RIDS....these were hard to capture in pics, possibly from the metallic in the paint.
50/50 with only the D300, which finished down very nicely!
Jeweling down the paint with GTechniq P2 really brought out some gloss, though it's hard to see in pics.
