Cool 1st "client" detail of 2009...Non LSx

Got a nice 70* day here in Iowa today.
Did a dark metallic grey '07 Lexus RX350, it had 28k on it, they have 2 kids, so you know how the interior was...I think it turned out pretty good.

*Wash/dry
*PC/orange pads (spots w/ 3m compund, entire vehicle w/ Menz IP & then Tropi-Care TC-8, plenty of wipedown in between)
*Wash/dry
*Megs NXT (1st time I've used it)
*Final wipedown w/ Megs detail spray
*Megs interior quick detail (This stuff work pretty good)
*Various carpet cleaners & my shampoo machine, then shop vac
*Used a combo of products on the tires, I like how they turned out.

PICS. (Sorry, no pics of the mom.)

Here are the floor mats when I got started.


Floor mats now.


After initial wash.


Example of some of the marks.


1st pass on hood w/ Menzerna IP.


After someTropi-Care swirl cutter & a top coat.


After final wipedown.




Interior complete.



Comments & questions welcome.

I've been a big fan of 3m 3000 RC but I'd suggest getting some Megs 105 or Ultimate Compound. I picked some Ultimate Compound up a couple weeks ago and it blows Menzerna SIP away.

Sure, bring it up. Normally I try to price it based off of vehicle size & condition. I did this for $125.
