2011 Black Lexus - Polished and CQuartz

[HeavyMetal]

I polished ad CQ'ed my wife's 2011 Obsidian Black ES350 over the Memeorial Day weekend. It turned out rather nice. Process was wash with Dawn, 2 stage polish with Wolfgang twins (TSR/orange pad, FG/white pad), wash with APC+ 20:1, wipe with distilled water, CQuartz except for the clear bra which got Powerlock. Here's some after pics, sorry no time for before's:

Great job and beautiful car

We have a 2010 ES350 in Matador Red. You should get the windows tinted. They make a huge difference in the way the car looks and it's more comfortable driving in the summer.

What did you think of the CQ? Was it easy to apply?

Now that's what I call a mirror shine.

Find a new black Lexus to polish if you think it's so easy. Black is a bear to get right and Lexus black is doubly so.

I am not raining on his parade.

Im a auto detailer. high end. I detail lambos, ferraris, porsche, aston martin, bentleys, Audi R8's, vette z06's, Nissan GTR, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes etc..


Ive done all muti-color cars.. yes, Black is hard to get clean as whistle, then after an HR, it intends to get dirty the quickest.

You prolly had defects, saps on that new car? correct?


Im not dissing on your work. You did a marvelous job! A+

Try a car with bird #### stains, defects in paint, swirlmarks galore, deep scratches- in order to wet sand.. Much harder and takes more time then New car prep.

so your saying that if the car was in worse condition we would have seen his post at 11pm instead of 6 pm?? removing those defects isn't difficult, especially if he can achieve a finish like the one posted above.


great work OP. i love it when a black car looks like a mirror!! (hence my sig)

I understand that he's proud of his car, and it does looks nice, but really...not much effort to make a new car look good. My wifes' '07 IS looks pretty nice too for four years old.

HeavyMetal...finish the job and detail those tires too.
