Big clean-up - some nice pics
Big weekend for the car so far.
I started off with installing new brake pads on all 4 wheels.
Easy car to work on, by the way.
Then started the 'big' clean-up.
Washed it down with dishwash liquid (to remove all wax and oils), clay bar-ed it, and then started applying the Zaino system.
I used a Porter Cable to apply Zaino Fusion (paint restorer and swirl remover). Subsequently I immediately went to Zaino #2 (show car polish). There was no need for the #5 intermediate wax.
Edit : I re-read my post. I am in no way associated with Zaino. Have first used it based on a recommendation from other members in the VCA (Viper Club of America). Since then used it on all my vehicles. Stellar !
Attached some pics. The car is 3 y/o and my wife uses it as her daily driver.
What do you think about the 'my other car is a Porsche' license frame ?

1.5 hours for the brakes. Could do it in 30 mins now but took my time since it was the first time I worked on this car.
4 hours for the clean up. Well worth it. It looks...like new.
I'm installing clear bras on both the Lexus and Porsche over the next month. Nice projects ahead !
