2006 Lexus GS300 (Flint Mica) dealership washed for 3 years *Picture Heavy*
My site is now up as well 
check it out. Wish I documented more of my old work http://distinctivdetailing.com
Todays car is a 2006 Lexus GS300, color code Flint Mica (Gray). This eBay marketing associate had always brought his car to the Lexus car dealerships for their complimentary lifetime free car washes. If you're not a perfectionist, free washes are awesome! But take a look at what it'll do to your paint. William is fortunate that Lexus's clear coats are extremely hard and that after three years of car washes, swirls are only minimal. That doesn't mean that it was easy to remove though! 'Cuz it was a pain! So much work for so little return. I was also able to remove MOST of the scratches put on by his kind neighbors (door dings). The car had never received a clay bar treatment which it definitely needed. Three pieces of clay had to be used for the entire car (the surface area of the roof and hood of this car is gigantuous!). Anyways, enjoy.
*Note* The etching spot on the clear bra on the horizontal surface of the beneathe the trunk was not fixable. The etching is on the clear bra itself.
Here’s the process:
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash with Euro-W Bucket + Grit Guard & DI Sheepskin Mitt
