Lexi Day Today

So I spent 5 hours at the mechanics this morning for him to work out the cause of the juddering and fixed it £350 later....ouchie! And then I spent 3 hours cleaning her seeing as I haven't done it properly. So I shampooed her, clayed her and then waxed her. Spring cleaned the inside as well smelling fresh! :D

So the next time I wash her, can I just polish after the wash?

So here are some photos to finally show her!

Noreen,a lot of care spent yesterday,however can i suggest one thing not associated with this thread,swap the cloth seats for leather ones or half leather ,thats what i did and it is loads better .

I would polish then wax to seal the polish.

I would suggest just waxing after the next wash, no real need to polish again so soon and besides if you do polish it again you will need to wax it afterwards.

Inbetween waxing you can use something like this: http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/Products,119,toView_813.html

Thanks guys. Went to a wedding today and parked under a tree and you know what was all over my windscreen....damn birds!! Tempted to buy some special doodoo wipes for anymore mishaps, especially now she's all shiny!

Waxing it was hard work, are there any decent buffing cloths or pads to use to buff it on? And can I use the same for polish?

Oh and I tried the toothpaste trick on the headlights and they did take most of the yellow stain away! Lol

Lexus loon, I think that will be the near enough the last thing I might want to change about it...I do like leather seats but then I think I'd want heated seats to go with it....its all or nothing! Haha!

You can use microfiber cloths to put on the polish and wax, i'd use one for polish and one for wax.

And another to buff along with a microfiber mitten.

Its deff a good idea to buy a can of bird neutralizing spray and keep a cloth in the boot for every time you see some. otherwise you might get some nasty paint defects if its left
