Lexus GS400 Before/after: PC, Menzerna Intensive and Final, NXT (15 pictures; 5.92MB
EDIT: More pictures from a small photoshoot and full wheel polishing in post #29.
I got this Lexus last Saturday and the paint was in poor condition.I touched up all the chips and scratches. Afterwards, I ordered a PC and Menzerna polishes, and used my Clay Magic bar and the remainer of my NXT wax. The results are still shocking to me everytime I look at the car. Enjoy the pictures.

That was an amazing before and after. How did you get all those scratches, scrapes, swirlmarks, and chips out? I have much smaller scratches then yours and nothig seems to get rid of them other then putting touchup on them but it always looks horrible after I add touch up paint so I just leave it alone. I have not used a Porter Cable. What did you use and how did you go about applying it on the engine bay, it looks brand new now. Nice work. I usaully tell people when buying a used car to not worry too much about minor scratches/scrapes/ and a dirty exterior/interior because that can all be cleaned up and made to look almost like new with the right products and proper applications.

I highly suggest you get some good polish and a PC. That's how I removed all the imperfections. For the chips, I touched them up and let them cure. The polish flattened them out. They are barely noticable in direct sunlight. The engine bay was done with simple green and armorall.
I used a 7424. Foolproof.
