Default Swissvax DIVINE: 2009 IS350

Well, its been a while since I've been here. I'd like to share a "brand new" 2009 IS350 that was brought to me today. After washing it, I found a "few" imperfections:

Wash: Chemical Guys ECOwash (coming soon to my website)
Clay: Chemical Guys HUGE 8oz BIG FAT POLY CLAY BAR





Roof:


Polish: Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium on White CCS pad using my Festool RO125

Wax: Swissvax DIVINE (Lexus custom formula)

Looks good Todd, but what can we expect from the master. I hope you can make my car look that good for HIN my black roof will need it.

Came straight from the dealership. Personally, I think the prep job was a high speed buffer with a wool pad, compound, and a whole lotta GLAZE. When the customer picked it up, it looked pretty good. So I thought it was going to be a pretty easy job...until I washed it

Gotta love the glaze dealerships use. I'm glad my super soap degreaser mix kills everything they put on lol

Great job Todd
