  • LEXUS LS 430 JUST DETAIL for wedding car

    I had another urgent call from my friend, on last wed
    as he will be lendiing out his ride to be wedding car on sat....to a friend
    ............................hmmmmmmm
    as fast as the lighting strike ...i said yes....
    took emergency leave....as this is one of the biggest event in life... u cant miss....a marriage cant be postponed....


    Friday travelled about 36 KM...arrive at 8am......did 13.5 hours detailing
    the rest of it, is history...my sanity cracked upon looking at the ride

    GPS IMAGING ......satellite captured pics


    any body play golf????? do u like to play in this terrain

    how could this be


    very severe water stains


    more pics before...more severely scratch pics


    some correction request to be done


    severely scratched contributing from washing technics

    spotting contest????



    Decorated with water spot ....



    clayed front bonnet


    a bit more after clay pics

    Menu for the paint work -

    ONR rinseless wash - 3 micro fibers
    Clay with mild clay - with ONR wash as lube
    Quick wipe down

    Test spot....Lake country Cutting pad with Meguiars M 105 - speed 1 to spread speed 2 - moderate pressure - speed 3 slow movement

    resulting 80% light swirls diminishing, but RIDS aka deeper random scratches still very visible

    change to
    Lake country double sided pad with Meguiars M 105 - speed 1 to spread speed 2 - moderate pressure - speed 3 moderate & slow movement

    much more better results but some RIDS is visible 10 % left

    after 3 more passes with LC wool - seems more satisfactory

    now - only when the surface is clean ... wiping off with microfiber, paint begins to smear...night mare begun

    i have to back down with LC cutting pad speed 1 to spread speed 2 - moderate pressure - speed 3 moderate & slow movement
