Prestige Auto Detailing: 2010 Lexus IS 350C

[SRHTX]

Well, remember this one?

Well, here is his new one. A 2010 Lexus IS 350C. Not that same horsepower or red leather interior, he he he......, and overall size of the convertible. Since he has had this Lexus before Christman, he really never drove it since he like the SC 430. Well, he has no choice now. Since it rained for over a week down here, I know I needed to do a quick detail to keep it looking new.

Now, I have a question about this. What do YOU USE to clean everything around the letters? I did not have a problem with this vehicle since it has less than 2k miles on it.

Is it just Toyota/Lexus that the exhaust tips get that bad so quickly??

Well, this detail was just to clean-up the new Lexus. It's about to turn 2k miles this week. Since the Optimum Opti-Seal is new on the market, I wanted to give it a try and to protect the IS 350Cs new paint. My client is very impressed and wants me to do the same thing to his wifes New 2010 Lexus LS. Her past car was this one:

After I took the Lexus back to his office this afternoon, I pointed out some problems with the new Lexus, such are the exhaust tips and the interior. He advised me to correct everything and make it look new again. I will be doing the interior work tomorrow and the exhaust tips.

Since the Lexus had under 2k miles on it, all I needed to do was wash, clay, MaxWax it and seal it. The exterior looks like new once again!! Im the MAN

Thanks. Using that Opti-Seal was very easy to use. I called and spoke to the guys at Optimum today for his advise on something and it was what I had on my mind. I love Optimum products!! :dblthumb2: :iagree: :dblthumb2: Im the MAN

Well, here are before pictures I took of the interior the other day. It did not take too long to clean up the interior this morning.

Well, since my client wants to make sure his car stays in good shape to a few years, he wanted everything taken care of now for protection down the road. Well, the only interior protection, for the carpet/matts, that I had was the 303 Fabric Water Repelant. I Figured, why not. I also used the Optimum on all the leather interior the Lexus has. Client is very pleased. When I finished with the IS 350C, I went over to change vehicles and bring back the 2010 LS 460L. I finished about 80% of the LS this afternoon. It will be finished tomorrow afternoon!!

Enjoy the pics :props:
