This detail took part over two days and over 11 hours. The paint was in terrible shape and hadn't been polished in over a year. Unfortunately it has been raining :grrr over the last couple of days so no before shots.
I used a UDM.
EXTERIOR-
Clay with Sonus Green clay
Optimum Compound, orange pad
Ultima UPPP, green pad
Ultima PGP

Wheels got Opti-Seal
Tires are wearing Nascar Tire Shine (very underated product)

INTERIOR-
Cleaned with woolite/water (1/8)
Dash got Optimum's Protectant
Leather got Four Star leather conditioner
Door Jambs sealed with Opti-Seal

ENGINE-
Degreased with P21S TAW
Protected with Son of a gun Protectant
Paint sealed with Opti-Seal

All after pictures....

Re: 2006 Lexus IS250

WOW! That car looks amazing! Great Job! I am actually shocked at how well the UPGP looks...very WET and DEEP! ???? I have used UPGP on Black and Metallic Silver and it looks nothing like that? I guess I'll have to give it one more shot. Again Great Job and I love that Color!

Thanks! How do you like the PGP? Also, I agree about the NASCAR tire shine, great stuff indeed! I believe it is also water based. I have 4 bottles of it

So far so good with the PGP. Very good slickness and looks, but full durability is still to be tested....
