2005 Lexus RX330

I'm doing my best to post more of my details here. So, here's this week's detail...

'04 Lexus RX330

Exterior:

303 APC on wheels wells
DP Wheel cleaner
Washed with Meg's GC using a foam gun and sea sponge.
Clayed with Sonus green clay.
OP with yellow edge pad @ 1500rpm
OP with blue edge pade @ 1100rpm
A bit of touch up with the PC using OP and a white polish pad.
Werkstatt Prime
Werkstatt AJT
Pinnacle vinyl/rubber protectant
Pinnacle tire gel
Armor All in wheel wells

Interior:

Vacuum - Rigid Shop Vac
303 APC diluted 30:1 for cleaning - headliner, floors, matts
Pinnacle leather conditioner.
Pinnacle rubber/vinyl protectant
Meg's QID for touch up.


Before.

Not so bad, just a little dirty.




The interior was in great shape considering the 60,000+ miles on the odo. Cleaned up nicely...





And some exterior afters...












Thanks for looking!

Looks great! That color is a hard one to make reflect and shine. You did a great job.

Looks good! How do you like the Pinnacle Tire gel? When you say you used 303 APC diluted on the headliner, how did you apply and it?

Again, great job!

Very Nice! Looks fantastic. I really admire the tires. They really look nice on such a clean car.

Thank you everyone! I'll try to answer some questions..

As for the 303 in the headlilner, I have a diluted solution of it in a spray bottle. I'll lightly mist the headliner then use a semi-soft brush to agitate. I then follow-up with the shop vac to remove any excess dirt and moisture.

Pinnacle tire gel is great stuff. I use it on my own cars. It lasts long, doesn't sling, and IMO has a nice shine. I've recently ordered some DP gel since it's available in large sizes, so I'll be trying that out soon. But I have no complaints about Pinnacle. All their products have impressed so far.

And abrcrombe, I really like the prime/AJT combo. I've just recently started using it, and have really been impressed. Both Prime and AJT apply and remove with minimal effort. Super easy to use and great results. It's my new favorite acrylic sealant.
