  • Sisters Lexus

    okay, my pc was delivered today - i got it to simply maintain my family cars, clean 'em up a little and protect them. thanks EVERYONE for the great advice - i feel like i have a huge headstart!
    Then, there is my sisters car - a black lexus is300 that she just THRASHED! The trunk and the hood look like they were dried with a dirty towel and then scrubbed - really bad. If I can't fix it, my dad is gonna repaint it - he's only taken it to carwash detailers and they say forget about it - but after some of the before and afters i've seen on this site, i have confidence that i can make a huge improvement. I've got nothing to lose so its a great test/practice car. Oh, it also has these strange brown spots on it that are the size of half-dollars. i've clayed them and it seems to help a LITTLE.

    I got some 83, 3, 21 but was unable to get the 80 to take the swirls out after the 83 - will #9 work to achieve this? (i bought some 9 already for LIGHT cleaning) thanks!

    edit: took the pictures! boy is it worse than i thought! oh well, pc came late today, hope to begin fooling around tomorrow...here are some horrible pics, cover your eyes if you are squeamish!

    What do you get when your car's a dis grace
    With no #80 to clean up the haze

    Try #9 to fix it up good
    But do a test spot on the hood...

        west san fernando valley - i went to the pro products dealer in my area and they didnt carry 80, they tried to sell me some 3m product but i'm only familiar with megs. West Valley Auto Color isnt there anymore - so i went to Modern P&B Supply. I guess i could try others if you think i really need to. Since I have Mike's attention, I just want to say thanks for all the advice you give - youre like a Rockstar for car detailing junkies!!!

        thanks for the oompa song Murr - you really have a gift!
