The clients 2006 Lexus IS350 had been hacked up by another detailer in the Atlanta area. The "shop of hacks" broke many promises to the client as they never showed up twice to properly correct the car.

The client had contacted me and sent me a few pictures. I told him I had hoped that the car could be corrected via a one-step polish.

The client arrived early in the AM. After a QEW wash and clay. The "shop of hacks" where supposed to clay the car, but I did find quite a bit of bonded contaminant on the rear of the car, leading me to believe that the car was never clayed.

I did a straight IPA wipe down on the paint to ensure a smooth polishing process and remove any fillers/glazes that might of been used.

Here are some pictures:



















I first tried:

M205 via KBM flat black classic LC PCXP6

This combo removed the holograms and wool induced marring, but there where some deeper RIDS that where hidden under the work left by the "shop of hacks."

Client elected to go with full correction.

Here is a 50/50 of the door after:

M105 via KBM flat orange classic LC PCXP6
M205 via KBM flat black classic LC PCXP6



A few pics after polishing pics, car was washed with Z7 and a sheepskin mitt. Dried w/ a Big Blue WW. Wheels cleaned w/ MWB. No LSP at this time.













Was dark when I finally got done. So just a quick pic after applying:

Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant
