Finally a small SUV - Lexus in white!

Finally an SUV that was not huge, too bad it was white! I hate doing white details. This was brought tome as another referral from a previous customer.
It was previously detailed this spring.

Washed with Meguiar's GC - no water bead after, all the wax was gone

Clay - Pinnacle Poly Clay

Now, I was given a product to try from Ken03Cobra called Race Glaze

Race Glaze on a white pad set on 5 - I was very impressed. It took out all of the blemishes, and imperfections. It did really well knocking out the swirls and scratches. It's just like XMT 360, but you do have to buff unlike the 360.

Since it's winter I topped with Collinite 845 for protection













Look at that Metal Flake

WOW! Looks pretty good! Collinite waxes are sure durable are are the right choices for winter protection!

Great work..

And I agree, I would rather work on any color than white.. So hard to find light swirls, or even traces of light holograms. Alot easier to miss a spot of wax/sealant left behind as well... It all jumps out at you on darker colors.

But you nailed it! Looks great

Get Some Pigment in that paint now Mister!

Very nice job...white is tough to do, especially outside. In the shop, I'm constantly looking at the paint angling towards the halogens.

You've reached the "spilled milk" objective with that one LOL.

I think it's the best winter wax on the market.

Thanks Dan! I had two go over it several times and keep finding little spots of wax.

Coming for you Toto, I have become a young Jedi. I think I may move up to a Flex or rotary to become a master such as yourself.

I do have pigment coming tomorrow. It's a lime green VW Bug.
