2012 Lexus GS460

So the owner is putting his 2012 SUV up for sale and wanted a few things cleaned up. Overall, the vehicle was in good shape, especially inside. It did need a basic cleaning of all surfaces though. Carpets were spot cleaned. Engine bay wise it looked like it was just a typical 6 year old 75k mile vehicle so it too needed addressed. Lastly and of course, the outside needed my Basic Clean and Protect package. The goal of which is to not only thoroughly clean the paint but to remove light swirls and lesson any renaming imperfections. Overall the vehicle turned out great I think and the owners thoughts just from the pics he's seen agree.

Here's what she looks like:

Customer dropped the vehicle off on Friday thus I had plenty of time to begin working on her and getting the outside washed and fully decontaminated so polishing could begin in the morning.

AFTER POLISHING:

The headlights began to show signs of breaking down and crazing but it wasn't too too far along so I was able to save them

Nice work. The owner should have no problem selling it. Looks well taken care of.

I like that interior color, not too light or dark. Great for hiding dirt too.

Top dollar right there! Very nice work and they should be very happy with the way it looks as well as what they will receive for it!

Very nice job. The owner invested well.

That is FAR beyond average condition for a 75k mile vehicle now. I'd put it better than 95% of cars on the road. That is a beautiful paint color, and I too like the interior color. First looker will buy it. I'd love to own it myself.

On a side note, I didn't know the rear hatch opened that way (side hinge).

Wow, that car is in better condition than when it left the dealer's lot in 2012. I am having a similar situation with the headlights on my GMC Sierra. I have crazing on the top third of the headlight lens. I have tried McKee's headlight restoring polish but it has not made much difference. What did you use on the Lexus?
