Invisible Touch Detailing - Lexus IS F

Postby InvisibleTouchDetailing » Mon Jul 26, 2010 2:33 pm

Hi, here we have the detail of a stunning Lexus IS F, booked in for a stage 2 paint correction and engine bay treatment.

Walking round the car...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Checking the enine bay

Image

Image

The car was jetwashed down and the wheels were sprayed with bilberry and aggitated with brushes

Image

Image

Image

The tyres were sprayed with APC

Image

The wheels were rinsed and the car was snow foamed

Image

Image

After 5 mins this was jetwashed off and the car was washed by 2 bucket method and shampoo plus

Image

Door shuts and fuel cap were sprayed with APC and aggitated

Image

Image

Image

Image

The car was then dried and clayed using last touch as lube. Doors and lower arches being worse off

Image

Washed again using the same process as before and brought inside to be dried and inspected under halogen and led lighting

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

A section on the bonnet was taped off. I used the Makita rotary and initially tried a 3M polishing pad with menzerna 106FA but wasnt expecting this to do the job. Which it didnt so i switched to the same pad but 3M fast cut plus.

Image

Producing this

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Onto the other half of bonnet

Image

Image

Image

Image

Moving round to the rear door

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Much better

Image

Image

Switching to a sonus polishing spot pad for the front wings and A pillars

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Things were starting to take shape now

Image

Moving round to the boot

Image

Image

Image

Image

The paintwork was then dusted down and i changed to a meguiars finishing pad and menzerna final finish. Such a lovely polish

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I then changed to a 3M finishing spot pad for the front wings, boot and A pillars

Image

The car was then taken outside to be inspected in natural light

Image

Image

Image

Time for the engine bay. This was rinsed down with warm water and shampoo plus, sprayed with APC, aggitated and jetwashed off

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The car was then jetwashed and snow foamed due to the huge amount of polishing dust from the fast cut!

Image

Image

It was then dried inside. The engine bay was then treated with aerospace 303, protecting all rubbers and plastics

Image

Leaving this

Image

Image

Image

Image

Poorboys wheel sealant was applied, along with endurance tyre gel

Image

Image

Image

The car was then taken outside to be checked and to take some photos while the sun was out

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Dodo juice lime prime lite was then applied by applicator pad per panel at a time and buffed straight off

Image

Image

I then applied 1 application of Victoria Concourse wax, which as always was lovely to use

Image

I then applied a second layer of endurance tyre gel

Image

All exterior rubbers and plastics were treated with bumper care, including all door seals

Image

Image

The interior/boot was then hoovered and wiped down with poorboys natural look

Image

The air vents were dusted with brushes and cotton buds

Image

Image

Image

I then went around the car removing any wax residue from badges and small cracks

Image

Image

These were the final pictures of the car

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

and of course the service book :)

Image

Lovely car to work on and i think ive now chosen a colour to have the Supra sprayed in....

Thanks for looking, Christian
