Thanks. I made some adjustments to the two from floormats late yesterday. Thanks to Ryan, he advised me to use to PC to clean the mats more whan they were done.

Here are those pictures:

Those floormats will take a few more tries to clen the mess out/away.

yeah!!!!!!! We are now rain free until Wednesday night. Then, the rain starts back up. So, I took the Lexus LS 430 back today. Now, the problem is, I was not able to finish the exterior on the sedan today due to some "things" the car had. Such as road tar and other paint issues. I will bring the sedan back tomorrow morning and finish it up. I just do not know what items I will be using to finish it out.

Here is what it looked like this morning:

It looks like you forgot to polish the chrome tips. Nice work though.

I spent over 30 minutes on one tip and nothing was coming off. I was shocked.

Looks really good. How many hours do you have invested in this one?

Hey Stu. The interior was less then 3 hours. The exterior, uh......, a good 8 hours. I spent about 45 minutes getting the road tar off the vehicle. I also found out the Lexus had two panels on the passenger side had been repainted. Once I saw that, I drove it over to my friends body shop for him to look at it. I told him he needed to look at the passenger side and let me know if he saw anything wrong. Well, he say what I say after about 3 minutes looking at it. Who ever did the body work did a nice job but, of course any person, like us AG family folks, would catch it by working on it. After the road tar and paint issue, I had to get it this afternoon and do a spray wax to it. That took less than 15 minutes to do.

The client is pleased with its new look. He advised me he was thinking about trading it in within a year. Now, nope. He will be keeping it. LOL :dblthumb2:

Eagle One Nevr-Dull. I've used that stuff on a few vehicles without any problems. In fact, I used it on an '08 Lexus GS 350 w/o any problems.
