Thumbs up Re: Lexus

Nice detail bud. That is the Lexus body style I love.

Now, question for you. Why do you always changes products when you detail vehicles?

I will be doing some training at my friends body shop tomorrow. I will be wet sanding headlights, polishing them with clear coat to finish it. I will also wet sand some exterior body parts as well. Good thing we have a 50+ chance for rain tomorrow. he he he

Thanks friend...Yeah I thought I was needing my headlight kit on them, I said what the heck and tried some XMT360 on them with my yellow pad...And the yellow started coming off, put some more polishes on my pad and they cleaned right up...

Re: Lexus

Thanks Sparkie!
I used some Menzerna on some yellow lights a week ago. They came out great. I'm starting to wonder if some of the Headlight kits are over kill. I mean if you need to sand on them,you do need the proper paper and products. But I see no reason why some of the compounds we use daily can not be used on the headlights,with care.
I'd like some feed back from you all on this method,Please!
