Dear Forums Friends...

some before and after pics of a Lexus that was begging for some love.

Wash 🧽 - Meguires Gold Class
Clay - Griot’s
Compund - Pinnacle XMT3 with LC Orange pads - Makita 5000
Polish/Sealant - McKees 360 on white LC pads - Griot’s GG6
Interior cleaner - McKees APC 5:1 and Fast Interior Detailer
Interior Protectant - McKees Surface Protectant
Glass - McKees Glass Restore Polish
Wheels - McKees Foaming Wheel Cleaner
Tires - McKees Rubber Rejuvinator
Lights - McKees headlight restore polish/McKees headlighter sealer


Had to wet sand out the deep rear fender scratches with Megs 2000 and 3000.

What year is that?

I have a 2007 ES 350 in black. From your pictures, it looks exactly like mine.

A lot of people say black cars are the most spectacular when they've been kept well. To me, the ES 350 is one of the best looking black cars when it has been polished. I love mine! I got it as a hand-me-down when my father in law had to quite driving. When I got it in 2016 (basically 10 years old), it had 23,000 miles on it, and was pristine. It's what caused my interest in detailing. I was determined to keep it looking nice, found AutoGeek to answer some of my questions, and caught the fever.

Keep up the good work!
