2002 Lexus SC430

[Sevenrd]

Detailed this SC430. Paint was in pretty good condition except for some scuffing on some lower areas of the car and the front bumper. Forgot to take afters of the interior. :(

Also, I didn't get any direct sun photographs simply because I could not capture the defects on this white car. It was tough enough for me to even spot them.

Wash
Sonus green clay
OC @ 1500
FPII @ 1100
4* UPP

Couple of befores...

Afters...

You can see some of the scuffing on the front bumper here. They were deep. I improved them the best I could.

Nice looking Lexus, that is pearl white isn't it? Looks really nice, I like the way the paint looks. Paint looks like liquid, very nice.

Question is that your house in the background? If so that is one sweet looking house.

Thanks for sharing.

oh nore more question what pads did you use?

okay I'm done :D

Thanks, Nica!

It is the pearl paint. I couldn't really capture it in photographs, but it's a very nice color in person.

That's actually my neighbor's house. My house is on the other side of the street.

I started with an LC orange pad but went to an LC yellow for a little more correction ability. Finished with the FPII on an LC white pad.

I was looking at the last picture you posted and the paint looks really good, looks like milk...anyone have a cookie? :D

Oh neighbors house huh well it's nice.

Pearl white looks really good when done right, well that goes for a bunch of colors but I don't think the pictures do justice...I'm sure if I was standing infront of the vehicle it would look even better. I like the FPII, makes the paint come to life...I love it.

Thanks for sharing great looking car....I really enjoy your posts buddy full of good info.

Nice job Sevenrd! I like the SC430 except the back seat is not practical for anyone with legs.

LMAO! I'd never seen the interior of one of these cars until this detail. I don't know why they even bother putting seats back there.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. White is a tough color to make a big difference on.

I totally agree, white is just as bad as black if you ask me.
