I thought My SIL Loved me, but ....
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!

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