I totally forgot about posting this one. I did a teaser pic in the 4500 post but didn't follow through. This is his fiance's vehicle. Not to shabby for a 22 year old lady.

The Lexus was washed with NXT Tech Wash. The wheels, tires and wells were then washed with the left over wash water and wheel ShMitt. I then used Poorboy's Polish with Sealant via PC and EDGE2K Green Polishing pad. I did this at a #5 setting. There were virtually no swirls and this combo took care of simply cleaning up the paint. Next, the finish received a coat of Pinnacle's Spray Souveran. The wheels and glass also got a layer. Last, I put a layer of Pinnacle's Black Onyx Tire Gel to the tires. I then came back and wiped them off. The customer says she goes down a few gravel roads and hates orange tires! I think they actually look nice.

Thanks!!!

very nice!! as always. hey justin got a quistion . i notice sometimes you uses the black shmitt on the exterior. isnt that to agressive for the paint?? just wondering because im thinking of ordering the shmitt.
 
That is one sweet looking Lexus, very nice. The paint looks perfect and the depth and reflection is very nice.

thanks for sharing.
 
those have got to be the single most hideous looking wheels on a production car to date. The original design sucked, but these truly take it to the next level.

You are sooooooooooo right. At least they hide brake dust........if any could get out from behind them!

The black Scmitt (& white Scmitt) soften up with they are in water. Although, I will say that when I'm doing my own cars at my house, I use warm/hot water in both of my buckets. I'm sure this helpts to soften them up. The black Schmitt is softer than you think once it's wet.

By the way, the car looks great Justin!

The paint does look nice and clean. I have used Poorboy's polish and Poorboy's Sealant but never the new polish and sealant combo. It looks like it did a good job.

I don't know why they put a back set in that car. I don't think there's enough leg room for even a little kid to sit in it.

I would not use a black ShMitt on my paint.
