06RX400h Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My mom just picked up an '06 RX400h, her dream car. I came home to detail it for her because 1) I'm a car fanatic and enjoy detailing and 2) I didn't want her taking it through a carwash. Anyways, I drive a Nissan 350Z, so I don't know a whole lot about the Lexus yet, which is why I joined the forum. I think the color is Bamboo Pearl, it's got tan interior, navigation, backup camera, etc... Here are the pics after a wash, clay, and polish w/ the porter cable. I like this pic because you can see how the flake affects the way the paint looks. And...here's a pic of my car after a detail: Thanks for looking. Time for me to start reading up on the RX400h.

Lexucan Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Nice looking vehicles, both. How'd you get such uniform V-shaped vacuum cleaner marks on the Lex's cargo mat? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I steam cleaned the carpet in the back so it was damp when I vacuumed it, causing the V-shaped marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Grey, silver and some whites most cannot understand the details(work behind it); nor do they show it. The Nissan 350Z looks wet. Try some 5050 wax on it and some ClearKote Quik Shine on her or FK425. POP baby!!!! I know my wife out love these pictures of the RX. She wants one or an SLK. I said nope, dream on. Maybe in the future..... ;) I am like you; I “enjoy detailing” and make some $$$ on the side. Problem is no time with other things to do.

Yeah I know what you mean with the colors. I like detailing black cars as they are probably the easiest color to see the difference on. I wish I had more time to do it, but between 15 hours of class and working part-time I don't have a whole lot of spare time for detailing. My Z is always clean though :D BTW, I really like the way the new SLK looks. Definitely can't go wrong w/ that or the RX if you decide to get your wife one in the future. Where do you get those products you've suggested? I don't think I've heard of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
