Default 09 IS250 post-detailing "photoshoot"

This is my 2009 IS250 - I don't have any before pictures of the condition of the paint, but it was in fairly good shape with just the typical swirls and scratches from being a daily driver that is washed once a week.

These are from earlier in the Summer when I just got this car, but I just never got around to posting all of them.

Soooo shiny!!

Process:
-Washed with CG Citrus Wash and Gloss diluted to strip off old wax
-Dried with DI Waffle Weave Microfiber Towels
-Clayed with DI Fine Clay with ONR as Lube
-Compounded with M105 (where needed) w/ LC White Pad via PC7424XP
-Polished with M205 w/ LC Black Pad via PC7424XP
-Sealed with CG Blacklight w/ LC Blue Pad via PC7424XP
-Topped with CG Hybrid V7
-Wheels Cleaned with P21S
-Tires Dressed with Meg's Endurance Gel
-Interior Trim Dressed with 303
-Leather Conditioned with Lexol
-Glass Stoner's IG






























This one is more recent, but the car is still looking good!






Check out some of my other photos on Flickr!

Thanks for looking!
