I thought My SIL Loved me, but ....
________________________________________
I detailed my Sister-in-Law’s Lexus. I thought she loved me, but if she did she wouldn’t have let it get so horribly filthy! She says she got it dirty just for me. I spent most of my time on the exterior. The interior was not bad except for some stains on the floor mats that I didn’t have time to clean. I started about 11:00 AM and finished around 5:30. I had a short break during for lunch and an errand.

I was pleased with how well the exterior came out. I love the paint on this car. It is white with flecks of color. I wish I could have gotten a finished picture in the sun to so off the flecks. They really popped with the White Diamond + Natty’s Red!

Wheels:
1Z Einszett Wheel Cleaner. I really like this product. I don’t care for the strong smell, but it cleans really well. I think it is on par with P21S and less expensive.
I used Amazing Roll Off on the tires and wheel wells.

Once car was clean, I finished the wheels with PB Wheel Sealant, Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel, and Chem Guys Bare Bones. The Wheel Sealant takes time to apply and is a bit tough to remove but the wheels sure looked good afterward!

Some before shots:









Exterior:
As you can see from the pictures there was bird poop in many places and a lot of grime on the car. I used PB Bug Squash (diluted 3:1) on the bird poop and as an extra cleaner on some of the really dirty bits.
I washed with PB Super Slick & Suds + a black Shmitt

Bug Squash worked well. I squirted some on this nasty blob, let is soak for a minute and then hosed it off.

Nasty Bird Bomb:


After Bug Squash:


Once I had a clean and dry car I applied PB White Diamond with the UDM and a blue Lake Country Smart pad. The White Diamond really shined up nicely and made the flakes of color in the paint look great. After that was done I applied, by hand, a coat of Natty’s Red. I let it sit for an hour or so while I continued with other parts. I don't know about you, but Natty's Red looks more pink to me than red. But hey, I'm confident in my manhood to use a pink wax!

Interior:
Shop Vac.
Door Jambs cleaned with PB Spray & Wipe.
PB Natural Look followed by Pinnacle Leather Cleaner & Conditioner on the seats.

Glass was cleaned with Stoners IG. After all was done I pulled the car around to the front as the sun was setting and did a quick wipe down with Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax to give it a nice glow.

I wish the after pictures were better, but the sun was almost down.

Finished:









She was very happy with the finished car. I guess she loves me again . LOL! But man am I knackered after this one. I think I'm getting too old for this!

Good job Reddwarf, nice to see someone using PB Natty's red. It's in my arsenal.

Sun going down or not, that's impressive white. Wet like spilled milk. Good work.

[AUdakota]

plain and simple, she hates you.

Excellent job!

I also love Natty's Red; gives a very nice bright vibrant look.

Non sense you're just getting warmed up
Looks great, the last shot has a nice clear crisp reflection on the trees.
