Lexus IS F
Lexus IS F
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...
Checking the enine bay
The car was jetwashed down and the wheels were sprayed with bilberry and aggitated with brushes
The tyres were sprayed with APC
The wheels were rinsed and the car was snow foamed
After 5 mins this was jetwashed off and the car was washed by 2 bucket method and shampoo plus
Door shuts and fuel cap were sprayed with APC and aggitated
The car was then dried and clayed using last touch as lube. Doors and lower arches being worse off
Washed again using the same process as before and brought inside to be dried and inspected under halogen and led lighting
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.
Producing this
Onto the other half of bonnet
Moving round to the rear door
Much better
Switching to a sonus polishing spot pad for the front wings and A pillars
Things were starting to take shape now
Moving round to the boot
The paintwork was then dusted down and i changed to a meguiars finishing pad and menzerna final finish. Such a lovely polish

I then changed to a 3M finishing spot pad for the front wings, boot and A pillars
The car was then taken outside to be inspected in natural light
Time for the engine bay. This was rinsed down with warm water and shampoo plus, sprayed with APC, aggitated and jetwashed off
The car was then jetwashed and snow foamed due to the huge amount of polishing dust from the fast cut!
It was then dried inside. The engine bay was then treated with aerospace 303, protecting all rubbers and plastics
Leaving this
Poorboys wheel sealant was applied, along with endurance tyre gel
The car was then taken outside to be checked and to take some photos while the sun was out
I then went around the car removing any wax residue from badges and small cracks
These were the final pictures of the car
and of course the service book
Lovely car to work on and i think ive now chosen a colour to have the Supra sprayed in....
Thanks for looking, Christian
