    Black Lexus 2011 AWD IS 250 Dealer Post Prep. Suggestions

    A new client came to me today with this car

    He only has a budget of $170

    Any suggestions on what to use and what steps I could do to make it better

    I was thinking wheels,wheel wells and rims,
    Wash , Clay, power lock and then collinite

    See below

    I would do something like menz 2500 or reflect then seal. That is what I've been doing for new car cheap packages.

    1. How many (or few) cc scratches/swirls do you see on the paint?

    2. I would do the tires and wheels, skip the wells.

    3. Clay (if needed) but do either PL or Collie not both.

    I'd use something like Blackfire Total Polish and Seal then top it with a sealant of your choice. That would give the paint a good cleansing. Or the new Wolfgang Uber AIO.

    It would be a good candidate for Uber AIO, like said above.

    Your process seems right, but after claying it's interesting to do at least a light polishing step to remove marring, light swirls etc...

    After that you may stop (UBER AIO or others AIO already offers protection) or top it with a coat of wax if you'd like to do a bit more rubbing!

    Good luck,

    Kind Regards.

    So what was the outcome? How many miles were on the car? And did the customer request and or say he/she was looking to achieve?
