Thumbs up 1992 Lexus SC400 (scratchtastic!!!)

A friend at work is going to sell his Lexus and it needed a good detailing. As you can see in the pictures below, there were some massive scratches in the hood and on the trunk. He had no clue where they came from, but I suspect an angry ex-girlfiend!!!

I told him up front that I wasn't going to be able to get those scratches out, especially since some went all the way through to the metal underneath. But I would try!

All in all, I think I did a pretty fine job. After a few hard passes with the orange pad on 6, it started making a difference. Took me about 5 hours to do the whole thing. Enjoy!

1) Wash with Megs Gold Class
2) Clay with Zaino Z18
3) Wash with Megs Gold Class
4) Poorboys SSR2.5 on orange pad w/ PC on 6 (2x)
5) Poorboys SSR1 on white pad w/ PC on 5
6) Poorboys EX-P on gray pad w/ PC on 3

BEFORE:







Just finished claying the whole thing...







Swirltastic! SCRATCHTASTIC!!! I AM LOVING IT!!!





AFTER!!!

How much water did you use, it's like a mini river on that street lol? Good job, some nasty scratches. Whoa, just noticed your truckin the garage, it fits!! 1st time I've ever seen a HD truck in an garage, that must be a deep garage. We had bays on each side of the other house and no way were any of the HD truck fitting in, maybe b/c some had long beds, my friends 3500 quad cab ram with long bed stuck way the hell out lol.

Good Job!! And you just had to sneak in that, "mirror of a tailgate" in the garage didn't you?
I saw and commented on that tailgate shot in your previous detail.
