Hey all, here is a recent project, first paid job actually, that I got to do this past Labor Day weekend,. The vehicle is a 2005 Lexus SC430 that has never been properly detailed. From the before pictures, it shows. I’m just a hobbyist so I had to use what I had to get the job done. Owner was also on a budget so I did what I could to get it to look good without too many steps.

Equipment/Products:
Exterior:
Wheels: Pinnacle Advanced Wheel Cleaner (straight) w/ various brushes
Tires: Meguiar’s D101 APC straight with Tuf Shine Tire Brush
Wash: Meguiar’s Hyper Wash
Decontamination : Iron-X and Nanoskin AutoScrub Fine Grade Wash Mitt
Paint: LC CCS Orange Pad with Menzerna SIP1500
Paint Protection: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Rubber/Plastic: CarPro Perl

Interior:
Carpets: Hot water extracted removable carpet. Steamed interior carpet and removed stains with steamer
Leather: Steamer, Wolfgang Leather Cleaner w/ SwissVax leather brush. Applied Wolfgang Leather conditioner
Rubber/Vinyl/Plastic: Meguiar’s D103 10:1 quick wipedown followed with Pinnacle Rubber and Vinyl Protectant

On to some pictures:

Looks great! Way to pop your cherry on your first paid detail!!
 
awesome job, I bet the owner was very pleased...
 
Beautyfeel red.
Lexus is very rare car, especially LS & other big models.

In Israel it's a car of the wealthy (not just rich).
 
You did a fantastic job, so good infact that the owner should trade it in because its never going to look any better than that, damn those seats came out great:props:
