    Lexus IS250-Black

    This black IS250 is one of my regulars. I am very lucky to have this person as a customer because they have done a lot for me and are one of the most nicest people I've ever met. I charge this person significantly less because they are a regular customer and I am the only one who touches the car. It is a daily driver with frequent trips to a farm in Indiana.

    Products used:
    Exterior:
    Mr. Pink
    Sonax Full Effect
    Poorboy's Bold&Bright Tire Shine
    Poorboy's Wheel Sealant
    Mother's Clay Bar/lubricant
    Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover
    CG Glossworkz Glaze
    Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax

    Interior:
    CG Leather Conditioner (leather)
    DP Interior Cleaner
    Eagle One Glass Cleaner
    CG Stripper Scent air freshner


    On to the pics!





    I opened up a brand new bottle of Mr.Pink, and after blow drying the car i realized that the cord wrapped around the opened bottle and 60% of the product was on my
    garage floor At least i was able to wash my floor!



    I had to finish this car by sunset and return to customer by 6am the next morning so i called for a trusty back-up who also cleaned his bike after finishing
    the interior and wheels


    Due to such a short deadline i wasn't able to take too many pictures, however here is the finished product!!!







    Seeing a black car shine so much makes me happy!

    Thank You!

    This was the first bottle i got from Poorboy's Bold&Bright and i will never go back. It is water based so it dies super quick and the shine lasts. It smells great too(coconut/pina colada). The only downside is when the sidewall is slightly wet, it will streak, but when dry, a little goes a long way. So far I've done 12 wheels with it and i'm not even a quarter down in product level.

    Wheel Sealant is super easy to apply and work in. It is pink in color but it goes on clear. A little goes a long way too. It also smells strawberry-like, makes working with wheels more pleasant. Brake dust and other dirt is easier to remove, especially on those hard to reach areas.

    Thank You everyone!

    Black paint is very hard to do, actually one of the main reasons i sold my 1.5 year old black Genesis, just couldn't keep up with how busy i am having a full time job, full time school and detailing!

    This car however is always a pleasure to do!
