Full detail today

First_Lexus · July 31, 2022

With the weather slightly cooler today, and mainly overcast, I decided to give the RX a full exterior detail (having done the interior a couple of evenings ago). With hosepipe bans likely in this part of the world soon, I thought getting her into top condition now was probably a good idea. The whole car, including all door shuts and under the bonnet, was treated to the following regime:

- Snow foam, using Bilt Hamber Auto Foam;

- Wash, using Bilt-Hamber Auto Wash;

- Wheels, using Bilt-Hamber Auto Wheel;

- Dead bugs removed, using Gyeon Bug & Grime (fantastic stuff, it essentially dissolves them without any pressure needed);

- Windows, using Bouncers Look Sharp;

- Water Spots (minor) using Gyeon Water Spot Remover;

- Exterior plastics, using Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel (which has been my preferred choice for years);

- Paintwork and wheels dressed, using GTechniq c2v3;

- Tyres, using Bouncers Dress to Impress.

The car was fully corrected and ceramic coated, using GTechniq Crystal Serum, by Chris at Summit detailing in Weston-Super-Mare when the car was new. It’s the second Lexus I’ve had treated when new by Chris - who does an amazing job - and it’s worth every penny when you realise how (relatively) simple getting a superb finish is afterwards.

Anyway, that’s been my workout for the day. She looks fine in the late afternoon sunshine…😁
