04 or 06 Lexus GX 470
Sup guys
Took a challenge this sunday and took on the beast from lexus..
well the owner only wanted only a step one polish/seal/trim restore and wanted the vehicle before sunset.. so i was fighting time and couldnt take alot of nice pictures sorry .
process: Started 6:30am
1.Wheel was clean with Meguiars Super Greaser W/ Dayton Wheel Brush and Wheel well with Meguiars APC with Meguiars Brush.
2.Soak SUV about 5mins then Foam Gun W/ Zaino Car soap and Rinse.
Used 2 Bucket Method W/GritGuard, 50/50 Mix Optimun ONR/Car Shop washed W/ Eurow 100% Sheepskin.
3.Dried with 3 Waffle towels and blow down with Shop Vac (the Vac was clean pior to wash)
took under shade
4.Clay the car with Magic Clay and Lub that came with the kit.
5.Windshield had some bad waterspot, so i used Danese Waterspot Remover w/ old par soaks and works great .
6.ONR the Car
7.Tape Black Trims and rubber W/ 3M Blue Tape
8.So I wanted to try this new product i got call "P&S Full Throttle" i tested it on a panel with Flex/UDM/LC CSS White Pad and it came out great.
9.ONR the Car again (I love this stuff!, Save so much time)
10.After wash, i topped it off with DWG W/ LC Blue pad, let it sit and dry and came out fantastic.
11.Now i was debating on the LSP either Blackfire or 4*upp so i Decided to go with 4* this time.
and the result came out even more fantastic DWG + 4* = Super Wet Look AZ Style .
12.Since i had some time left i Clayed the rim and treated with Zaino CS and add 2 coats of Zaino Tire shine to the tires (its water base and dry's fast didnt have to worry about sling), Also dressed the wheel well as well .
Finish time: 5:30pm
Little Review
the P&S Full Throttle is Great 1 step Polisher very easy to work with, little dust, gives great fast result. its well worth it for the price, almost compare with Menzerna SIP but cheaper, i would recommand anyone this.
all in all this was the biggest vehicle i did and I hope i don't do one anytime soon (j/k) but it was a great learning experience.
sry for the lack of pictures would of taken more better ones if i knew i had time..
No Protection
Some Problems found on paint was easily taken care of with clay and buff
My new Claybar getting really dirty
After Clay
reflection
thx for looking.

Great work, I have that same paint color on my 4runner and have been putting off claying and polishing it.
As for the foam gun, do you guys feel it's a good way to apply the soap?
