06 IS250 Correction - First Full Project.
This car belong to my buddy's wife. She has driven it for the last 3 years with minimal washing. There is A LOT of damage on her paint. We did the best we could, it turned out pretty good. Nothing amazing, but the 90% of the defects are gone. Her car has also been repainted and the hood doesn't look as great as the rest of the vehicle. Here are the photos.

Thanks Bryan. I got my first batch, which was 80% of my equipment from you guys at AG.
Any sale coming up? I'd like to get another order in soon. Money was tied up during Christmas for family presents and such. Now I'd like to reload on some stuff if you guys are having a kind of promotions coming up.

She basically drove the car without ever washing it. The rain was the only water it ever saw. Her husband was not into this until he bought his new car and we got into detailing. The next project is to work on the interior, which is equally trashed. Poor lexus.

On another note, I did try a sample bottle of Pinnacle Advanced Polish. Couldn't tell a difference between that and the MEG's 205. Going to stick with 205 based on pricing.
