As promised, Brian’s girlfriend, Stephanie brought in her (pretty-fresh-ly) bought IS250 in for a Wash/Clay/Wax after seeing the results of Brian’s Civic Si (Click me) a few weeks ago. As a good deed to a returning client, instead of going straight to the wax step, I decided to give the whole car a full treatment of an all-in-one polish, Optimum Poliseal. Why? Well, the paint was in very good condition considering it only has 12k miles and is parked in a car port, making the clay bar step fairly quick. I quoted her a 3-4 hour time frame for me to complete the job, and if I were to finish up after claying, it would’ve only taken me 1.5 hours. Anyways, the car had very light swirls that the polish in the poliseal was able to get rid of most (very suprised), topped off with an additional coat of Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection, the car left looking wetter than the ones I see at the Lexus dealership lots! Upon pickup, I hooked Brian up with a 12 oz bottle of ONR mixed instant detailer since he wanted a a remedy to bird droppings without washing the car. Thanks again Brian & Steph! They were in and out of my place within 3 hours!
