Dranom's LS400 Build
I usually just browse around the forum to check out some pictures and look around the Wheel FS threads.
But now I finally have a lexus that I bought a few weeks ago. My car is a '99 baroque red metallic, Tan interior, 94k miles. The exterior needs some TLC and the interior needs a good cleaning but the ride is smooth without any problems. In a few months ill do the water pump, timing belt etc...
Corner 3 Garage here in cali quoted me $1800
Is this a good price?
Here's some pics of my previous car's
Ivory pearl G35
San Marino Blue Q45
Anyways let's get this going with the LS
The day I picked her up
The car doesn't have tint so it was HOT like a motherF'er inside when the car sits under the sun
After a few days after work I started with the cleaning. Did the engine bay first since it's a bit dusty. lol
BEFORE:
Covered the delicate parts and Used P21s degreaser that I diluted a bit with water and degreaser soap. Also used a flexible scrubber and a brush for the hood and plastic panels. Drying stage I used a detailing vacuum to blow away excess water. Took me around 1-2hrs to properly clean it
AFTER: Waaay Better
After the bay was cleaned up next is the headlights. Both are yellowish already and the fogs too
Gonna use my FLEX Buffer with some left over Menzerna Intensive polish
Driverside is almost done
Passenger side all taped up in the corners so the rubber piece wont touch the polishing pad
AFTER:
Time: 30-45 mins its all done. Applied Dodo Juice Super natural wax and jetseal sealant
Until Next Update....
Thanks for looking

Damn Monard.... Sick pickup! So nice!!! Corner 3 Garage is legit!!!!!! Out of everything that I have heard, they are one of the most reputable shops in South County (Orange County California for the non-locals)... I can't wait to see your car soon....
