So a long time member a local racing group I belong to picked up a super nice 2008 Ultrasonic Blue Mica Lexus IS-F with an awesome sounding V8. It was time to get her to look as good as she sounds and the timing lined up perfect with a trip to Columbus he was already putting together.

Overall the car was pretty clean but over the past 2 previous owners it had seen it's share of car washes and swirl creation tools. The plans going forward however were to maintain the paint and clear coat, clean up what we could and then Ceramic Coat it to lock in the goodness.

The plan involved my Premium Enhancement Polish and a nice CarPro Ceramic Coating to lock it all in and amp up the gloss. The great thing about Lexus and many Japaneses Paints is that they are on the soft-side and easy to correct, thus this beauty is about 95-100% Perfect now!

Thank again to yet another group member for trusting in my work and helping make my garage look great with this gloss covered beast in it for a couple days. Looking forward to seeing his reaction upon pick up.

Onto the pics!

Process involved my Flex 3401 and XCE Polishers with Orange Hybrid Force Pads and L.C. Orange Flat Pads paired up with CarPro Essence. CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 as the final coating.
 
Wow! That hood has some serious CC failure!

Oh wait....... Those are clouds!! :laughing::laughing:

That thing looks Amazing, man! :dblthumb2:
 
Had a 2010 that color. Great color and you did great by it.
 
O M G THAT blue When my paint dreams it wishes it could be THAT good (and that shade)

These are going to be that "oh yeah, remember those" cars, especially the GS-F

Beautiful. Not a fan of the current Lexus designs but I like this one, especially this color.
 
Nice blue , nice work. My wife has a 2014 IS350 that I ceramic coat every other year, still looks like new and runs awesome {just drove from Philly to Colorado} and car bug juice cleaned up nice [used BF bug blocker]
 
Nicely done! That blue is amazing now! Great work on a super cool sedan. Owner will be blown away...
