Full detail: '08 Lexus RX330

I always love these jobs. This is the wife, of the client I did the Cayman for. GREAT people, and they've seen what my hands can do. This is her daily driver, and I think they'll order up a polishing package in the summer, but for now it was just a wash, clay, sealant, interior job. I'm always very grateful for return clients like this, and furthering our relationship. I went to the client's house for this one, here's how things went down:

• Adam's Deep Wheel Cleaner, Wheel Woolies, Boar's Hair brush, & New Lugnut Brush on wheels
• Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Fender Brush on tires & wheel wells
• Adam's All Purpose Cleaner & Fender Brush to clean floormats
• Adam's All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Woolies, & Boar's Hair Brush to clean the engine bay
• Blow dry engine bay with MetroVac Sidekick & one of my "dirty job" towels
• Full two bucket wash with Adam's Firehose Nozzle & shutoff valve, Adam's Jumbo Wash pads, & Adam's Car Wash Shampoo
• Dress wheeel wells with Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray
• Adam's Clay Bar, Adam's Detail Spray, & Adam's Great White Drying Towel to decontaminate the surface
• Blow dry cracks & crevices with MetroVac Sidekick
• 70/30 Alcohol wipedown with Adam's Singlesoft Microfiber Towel
• Adam's Quick Sealant Combo to protect this baby
• Nourish engine bay, tires, & all exterior plastics with Adam's SVRT, Adam's In/out Spray, and a Block Sponge
• Vacuum interior with my Shop Vac
• Dust dash with small brushes, Adam's Detail Spray & "dirty job" towel
• Scrub seats and door areas with Adam's Leather/Interior Cleaner, Adam's Horsehair Interior Brush, & one of my "dirty job" towels
• Nourish seats & door areas with Adam's Leather Conditioner
• Clean interior & exterior glass with Adam's Glass Cleaner & towel
• Dress roof rack with Adam's SVRT

On to the pics baby! Arriving on the scene:



Lettin' the DWC & APC get right down to work:



Engine bay before:












Washed & Blow dry:



Always check this area during a wash. The lugnut brush is used for MANY other areas than just lugs:



All done washing:



Ready for a pool rinse, let the car help dry itself:



Hittin' those fender wells before moving forward, in case any overspray gets on the car, I have a few steps after, to remove it.



I don't dry the car beforehand, when I clay. Any water left on the car after rinsing (ALWAYS DO THIS IN THE SHADE OR GARAGE) acts as lubricant for when I clay, and then I use the Great White Drying Towel to absorb what's left behind. I took this pic, so you can see all the dirt and junk left behind, EVEN AFTER a wash, absorbed into the towel. This is after just the roof.



I always like to dress all areas with SVRT & In/Out Spray BEFORE I apply my LSP or do my IPA wipedown, because I'll remove any accidental messy areas, in the steps to come. Here's a 50/50 of the rear step pad, after 1 coat of SVRT:



Buttoned up after 3 coats absorbed:



Engine bay afters:









Tire & Undercarriage afters:












Wiper cowl & roof rack:










Since I didn't do any polishing, I moved right into the IPA wipedown. Again, you can see what I've picked up in the towel. This is after half the vehicle has been wiped down. Just another crucial decontamination step, before sealant is applied.



Moved on to scrubbing the interior:



Super clean creme leather baby:


















Final exterior shots:















Thanks for reading!! Holler if you have any questions!!

Looks pretty F-ing Good! Impressed with the leather cleaner and engine bay. Let me loose on the paint and the shine will be so intense you will not be able to look at it without hurting your eyes lol!

Nice job. The attention to detail is what separates this from being a "detail" to a professional detail. Every little spot is clean and shining as well as protected now!

Did you steal those kitchen gloves from your wife?

But my real question is if the gloves are recommended for the all purpose cleaner.

Chase is a delicate flower, he likes to wear gloves all the time.

Myself...the only time I wear gloves is when I'm polishing metal. That black residue is a real pain in the ass to get off your hands!

APC won't hurt your hands. I wouldn't advise rubbing it directly into open wounds though...

Well done.

Wanna wash my truck for me?

Well netix i was going to say the same thing after all the off roading i have done this month and last month my truck needs it bad and a good buffing as well. You need to come out to Illinois and clean my truck

Looks nice, I put in an order yesterday online and couldn't get the brushes for the lug nut holes. Out of stock?

Man that looks good. Youd probably spend a week getting my engine bay remotely clean lol
