Lexus LX470 – Budget Paint Correction
The owner of this Lexus was interested in bringing some life back to the black paint. He was thinking this would be a much cheaper option to getting it painted. The process was explained to him and the job was really planned around his budget. It needed a two step, probably three, but the budget would only fit for one polishing step. This is not easy but really wanted to help this guy out, and think that the results were beyond what he was expecting.
The entire vehicle was clayed. Correction was done with Meg Ultimate Compound using GG DA and 5.5in Orange LC pads and PCXP and 4in Orange LC pads.
This paint was really beat up, lots of very deep scratches, oxidation, rids, you name it. Probably knocked down the defects to about ~75% and really restored the clarity. One of the best turn arounds on a one step polishing that I have done. LSP was Meg 21 sealant. Interior was fully detailed, but no pictures as it wasn’t too bad. Pictures of outside only follow around the driver’s side as the whole vehicle was the same condition and it would have become redundant to continue to photograph the same thing.
